### VOTING YOUR SHARES
If you owned TJX common stock at the close of business on April 15, 2025, the record date for our 2025 Annual Meeting, you are entitled to vote at the meeting. Each of the 1,116,491,796 shares of common stock outstanding on the record date is entitled to one vote. As permitted by SEC rules, the Company has elected to make the proxy materials available to its shareholders primarily via the internet. Rather than a full hard-copy set of the proxy materials, most shareholders will receive a Notice of Internet Availability, which contains the 16-digit control number needed for accessing the materials and voting online. This method of delivery expedites receipt by our shareholders, reduces printing and mailing costs, and contributes to sustainability efforts. You may opt to receive paper copies of the proxy materials at no cost to you by following the instructions contained on the Notice of Internet Availability.

There are many ways to vote your shares:

• If you are a shareholder of record (meaning you hold TJX shares that are registered in your name) and you received a Notice of Internet Availability, you can vote your shares by proxy online or by telephone. If you received a printed version of the proxy materials by mail, you can vote by proxy online, by telephone, or by signing and returning your proxy card by mail.

• If you are a street name holder , sometimes referred to as a beneficial holder (meaning you hold TJX shares through a bank, broker, or other third party), you may instruct that institution on how to vote your shares. Please follow the instructions on the Notice of Internet Availability or the voting instruction form you received to have your shares voted and, if needed, to change or revoke your selections, or contact your bank, broker, or other third party holder for instructions. You also should have a choice of methods to vote your shares and to change or revoke your voting instructions before the meeting (as further explained below).

• Shareholders of record and street name holders may attend and vote at the Annual Meeting by following the procedures detailed in the Participation in the Annual Meeting section below. The meeting will be held in a virtual-only format.

• You can change or revoke your proxy before it is voted at the meeting. Please see Changing or Revoking Your Proxy below.
