Each of our NEOs satisfied the requirements for special service retirement as of the end of FY25 and would remain eligible for amounts under our cash and equity incentive awards, as described under Long-Term Incentive Awards below. In addition, Ms. Meyrowitz’s agreement provides for eligibility for continued vesting of stock awards and certain long-term cash awards in the event that she provides additional Board-approved services to the Company following any future retirement.

• Change of Control: Upon a change of control of TJX (with or without a termination of employment), each of Mr. Herrman, Ms. Meyrowitz, Mr. Mizzi, and Mr. Canestrari would be entitled under his or her employment agreement to receive a lump sum settlement at target of MIP and LRPIP awards for which the performance period or cycle had not ended, and each NEO would be entitled to receive any benefits under the SIP and our deferred compensation plans (as described further below). We would also be obligated to pay any legal fees and expenses the NEO reasonably incurs in seeking enforcement of contractual rights following a change of control.
