 Exhibit 10.1 

THE TJX COMPANIES, INC. 
 STOCK
INCENTIVE PLAN 
 (2013 Restatement) 

First Amendment 
 Pursuant
to Section 10 of The TJX Companies, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan (2013 Restatement) (the “Plan”), The TJX Companies, Inc. (the “Company”) by authorization of the Executive Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of
Directors hereby amends the Plan effective as of June 7, 2016 by replacing Section 7(e) of the Plan in its entirety with the following text: 

“(e) Annual Deferred Stock Awards, Additional Deferred Stock Awards and Dividend Awards for Eligible
Directors. 
  

	 	(i)	Accounts. The Company shall establish and maintain an Account in the name of each Eligible Director to which the Annual Deferred Stock Awards, Additional Deferred Stock Awards and Dividend Awards shall be
credited. 

  

	 	(ii)	Annual Awards. On the date of each Annual Meeting, each Eligible Director who is elected a Director at such Annual Meeting shall automatically and without further action by the Board or Committee be granted an
Annual Deferred Stock Award as provided in subsection (iv) and an Additional Deferred Stock Award as provided in subsection (v). On each date other than the date of an Annual Meeting on which an Eligible Director is first elected a Director by
the Board, the Eligible Director then so elected shall automatically and without further action by the Board or Committee be granted a prorated Annual Deferred Stock Award as provided in subsection (iv) and a prorated Additional Deferred Stock
Award as provided in subsection (v). The grant of each Annual Deferred Stock Award and Additional Deferred Stock Award shall entitle each recipient, automatically and without further action by the Board or the Committee, to Dividend Awards as
provided in subsection (vi). 

  

	 	(iii)	Nature of Awards. Each Annual Deferred Stock Award, Additional Deferred Stock Award and Dividend Award shall be an Other Stock-based Award subject to the terms of this Plan and shall constitute an unfunded and
unsecured promise of the Company to deliver in the future to such Eligible Director, without payment, the number of shares of Stock in the amounts and at the times hereinafter provided. The shares of Stock notionally credited to the Accounts of
Eligible Directors shall be notional shares only and shall not entitle the Eligible Director to any voting rights, dividend or distribution or other rights except as expressly set forth herein. Nothing herein shall obligate the Company to issue or
set aside shares of Stock, in trust or otherwise, to meet its contractual obligations hereunder. 

	 	(iv)	Annual Deferred Stock Award. In respect of each Annual Deferred Stock Award granted on the date of an Annual Meeting, the Company shall credit to each Eligible Director’s Account, effective as of the date of
such Annual Meeting, the number of notional shares of Stock, including any fractional share, equal to $125,000 or such lesser dollar amount as may be determined by the Board divided by the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of such
Annual Meeting. In respect of each Annual Deferred Stock Award granted on a date other than the date of an Annual Meeting, the Company shall credit to the Account of the Eligible Director first elected on such date the number of notional shares of
Stock, including any fractional share, equal to (i) $125,000 or such lesser dollar amount as may be determined by the Board divided by the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of such first election multiplied by (ii) the
quotient (not greater than one) obtained by dividing (A) the number of days starting with the date of such first election and ending on the day first preceding the anticipated date of the next Annual Meeting, by (B) 365. 

 

	 	(v)	Additional Deferred Stock Award. In addition to the Annual Deferred Stock Award, the Company shall credit to the Account of each Eligible Director, effective as of the date that any Annual Deferred Stock Award is
credited to such Account, an Additional Deferred Stock Award covering the same number of shares as are covered by such Annual Deferred Stock Award determined in the same manner prescribed in subsection (iv) above. 

 

	 	(vi)	Dividend Awards. The Company shall credit (each such credit, a “Dividend Award”) the Account of each Eligible Director on the date of each Annual Meeting and on the date on which an Eligible Director
ceases to be a Director if not the date of an Annual Meeting with a number of notional shares of Stock, including any fractional share, equal to (i) plus (ii), divided by (iii), where: 

 

	 	(i)	is the product obtained by multiplying the number of shares then allocated to such Eligible Director’s Account (disregarding, for purposes of this clause (i), any shares credited to such Account since the date
of the immediately preceding Annual Meeting) by the aggregate per-share amount of regular cash dividends for which the record date occurred since the date of the immediately preceding Annual Meeting; 

 

	 	(ii)	is the product obtained by multiplying the number of shares first credited to such Eligible Director’s Account since the date of the immediately preceding Annual Meeting but prior to the date of such Dividend Award
by the aggregate per-share amount of regular cash dividends for which the record date occurred since the date that such shares were credited to such Account; and 

  
 -2- 

	 	(iii)	is the Fair Market Value of one share of Stock on the date of such Dividend Award. 

  

	 	(vii)	Vesting. Each Annual Deferred Stock Award, and any Dividend Awards in respect of Annual Deferred Stock Awards and/or vested Additional Deferred Stock Awards, shall vest immediately upon grant and be
non-forfeitable. Unless earlier vested pursuant to Section 12, each Additional Deferred Stock Award shall vest and become non-forfeitable on the date immediately preceding the date of the Annual Meeting next succeeding the date of grant of such
Award, provided, that the recipient is still a Director on such date. Upon termination of an Eligible Director’s service as a Director for any reason, the Eligible Director shall forfeit any then unvested Additional Deferred Stock Award
(determined after taking into account any acceleration of vesting pursuant to Section 12). 

  

	 	(viii)	Delivery. The Company shall deliver to an Eligible Director (or a former Eligible Director) the number of shares of Stock, rounded up to the next full share, represented by notional shares of Stock credited to
the Account of such Eligible Director in respect of Annual Deferred Stock Awards (including any Dividend Awards made in respect of such Annual Deferred Stock Awards) at the earlier of the following: (x) immediately prior to a Change of Control
or (y) not later than sixty (60) days following the Eligible Director’s death or earlier separation from service (as determined under the regulations under Section 409A of the Code). With respect to any Additional Deferred Stock
Award, absent an election to defer delivery of the shares of Stock subject to such Award pursuant to subsection (ix) below, the Company shall deliver to an Eligible Director the number of shares of Stock, rounded up to the next full share,
represented by notional shares of Stock credited to the Account of such Eligible Director in respect of such Additional Deferred Stock Award (including any Dividend Awards made in respect of such Additional Deferred Stock Award) within sixty
(60) days following the date of vesting pursuant to subsection (vii) above or, if earlier and if so provided in accordance with the terms of the applicable Award pursuant to Section 12, immediately prior to a Change of Control. In the
event of a termination by reason of death, such shares of Stock shall be delivered to such beneficiary or beneficiaries designated by the Eligible Director in writing in such form, and delivered prior to his or her death to such person at the
Company, as specified by the Company or, in the absence of such a designation, to the legal representative of Eligible Director’s estate. 

  

	 	(ix)	 Deferral of Delivery of Additional Deferred Stock Awards. By filing a written notice to the Company in
such form, and delivered to such person 

  
 -3- 

	 	
at the Company, as specified by the Company, an Eligible Director may irrevocably elect to defer receipt of the delivery of shares of Stock representing all or a portion of the notional shares of
Stock subject to any Additional Deferred Stock Award (including any Dividend Awards made in respect of such notional shares) such that those shares are delivered as soon as practicable and in all events within sixty (60) days following the
Eligible Director’s death or earlier separation from service (as determined under the regulations under Section 409A of the Code); except that if so provided in accordance with the terms of the applicable Award, such shares shall instead
be delivered immediately prior to any earlier occurrence of a Change of Control . Any election made pursuant to this subsection (ix) must be submitted with respect to any Additional Deferred Stock Award (A) in the case of the Additional
Deferred Stock Award granted on the date an Eligible Director is first elected as a Director, no later than 30 days after the date of such Eligible Director’s election to the Board or (B) in the case of any other Additional Deferred Stock
Award, no later than December 31 of the calendar year preceding the calendar year in which such Award is granted, or (C) at such other time as is necessary to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, as determined by the
Committee.”

 Exhibit 10.2 

THE TJX COMPANIES, INC. 

STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN 

DEFERRED STOCK AWARD FOR DIRECTORS 

This certificate evidences the award (the “Award”) made automatically to the non-employee director named below (the
“Director”) on [                    ] (the “Grant Date”) under Section 7(e) of the Stock Incentive Plan (the
“Plan”) of The TJX Companies, Inc. (the “Company”). The Award is subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan as from time to time amended, the provisions of which are incorporated by reference in this certificate. Terms
defined in the Plan are used in this certificate as so defined. 
 1. AWARD RECIPIENT:
[                    ] 
 2. NATURE OF
AWARD: The Award consists of two parts: an “Annual Deferred Stock Award” and an “Additional Deferred Stock Award” as those terms are defined in the Plan (hereinafter, the “Annual Award” and
“Additional Award,” respectively). The Company agrees to credit to an unfunded account maintained on the books of the Company (the “Account”), in respect of each such portion of the Award, the number of shares of Stock specified
in Section 3 plus such additional number of shares as may be determined under Section 4. The number of shares credited to the Account and not forfeited, rounded up to the nearest whole share, shall be transferred to the Director (or, in
the event of the Director’s death, to the Director’s beneficiary designated prior to death in a manner acceptable to the Company, or, if no such beneficiary has been so designated, to the Director’s estate) (such designated
beneficiary or the estate, as the case may be, being herein referred to as the Director’s “Beneficiary”) in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the Award. The Award is unfunded and unsecured, and
the Director’s rights to any Stock hereunder shall be no greater than those of an unsecured general creditor of the Company. The Award may not be assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of, except for disposition at
death as provided above. The Award does not entitle the Director to any rights as a shareholder with respect to any shares of Stock subject to the Award, unless and until such shares of Stock have been transferred to the Director. The Award is
intended to constitute a “non-qualified deferred compensation” arrangement that satisfies the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, and shall be construed accordingly. 

3. INITIAL CREDITS TO ACCOUNT: The number of shares of Stock to be credited to the Account, subject in each case to the terms and conditions
of the Plan and the Award, is as follows: 
 (a) Under the Annual Award portion of the Award,
[                ] shares shall be credited to the Account on the Grant Date. The portion of the Account reflecting this Annual Award credit is hereinafter referred to
as the “Annual Award Sub-Account.” 
 (b) Under the Additional Award portion of the Award,
[                ] shares shall also be credited to the Account. The portion of the Account reflecting this Additional Award credit is hereinafter referred to as the
“Additional Award Sub-Account.” 
 4. DIVIDEND AWARDS: As of (a) the date of each annual meeting of the shareholders of the
Company (if immediately prior thereto the Director was a member of the Board) and (b) the date (if other than the date of an annual meeting) on which the Director ceases to be a member of the Board, (each such relevant date, a “dividend
crediting date”) there shall be credited to each of the Annual Award Sub-Account and the Additional Award Sub-Account the number of additional shares of Stock equal to (x) plus (y), divided by (z), where: 

 

	 	(x)	is the product obtained by multiplying (i) the number of shares then allocated to the Annual Award Sub-Account or the Additional Award Sub-Account, as the case may be, (disregarding in each case, for purposes of
this clause (x), any shares credited to such Sub-Account since the date of the immediately preceding annual meeting) by (ii) the aggregate per-share amount of dividends for which the record date occurred since the date of the immediately
preceding annual meeting; 

  

	 	(y)	is the product obtained by multiplying (i) the number of shares first credited to the Annual Award Sub-Account or the Additional Award Sub-Account, as the case may be, since the date of the immediately preceding
annual meeting but prior to such dividend crediting date by (ii) the aggregate per-share amount of dividends for which the record date occurred since the date that such shares were credited to such Account; and 

	 	(z)	is the Fair Market Value of one share of Stock on such dividend crediting date. 

 5. VESTING:
The Director’s Annual Award Sub-Account shall be fully vested at all times. The Director’s Additional Award Sub-Account shall vest on the date immediately preceding the date of the annual meeting next succeeding the Grant Date (if the
Director is then a member of the Board) or, if earlier and if Section 6 is relevant in the circumstances, the date specified in Section 6. Immediately upon the Director’s ceasing to be a member of the Board for any reason, any portion
of the Director’s Account that was not then vested (determined after taking into account any accelerated vesting pursuant to Section 6 but otherwise before taking into account any amounts credited under Section 4(b) above as of such
date) shall be forfeited. 
 6. CHANGE OF CONTROL. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the provisions of this Section 6 shall
apply to any portion of the Director’s Additional Award Sub-Account not then vested and not previously forfeited, notwithstanding any other provision of the Award to the contrary: 

(a) Upon consummation of the Change of Control whenever occurring, if the Committee does not provide for a rollover award as
described in 6(b) below, any unvested portion of the Director’s Additional Award Sub-Account shall automatically and immediately vest in full. 

(b) The Committee may, but shall not be required to, provide in connection with the Change of Control that, in lieu of the
acceleration described in Section 6(a) above, the service-based vesting condition described in Section 5 above applicable to the Director’s Additional Award Sub-Account immediately prior to consummation of the Change of Control shall
continue to apply (with such appropriate adjustments as the Committee may determine) from and after the Change of Control to such Additional Award Sub-Account or to any stock, cash or other property into which such Additional Award is converted or
for which it is exchanged in connection with the Change of Control (the Additional Award Sub-Account or any such stock, cash or other property, a “rollover award”); provided, that vesting of the Director’s unvested
rollover award shall accelerate fully in the event the director is involuntarily terminated for any reason (other than cause) prior to satisfaction of such service-based vesting condition. In any case where this Section 6(b) applies, all
references in this award to “Additional Award Sub-Account” shall be construed, where appropriate, by reference to any rollover award as defined above. In any case where this Section 6(b) applies, references in the Award to
“Stock” shall be deemed to include the stock, cash or other property that is subject to the applicable rollover award. 

(c) Subject to the continuing vesting condition provisions of Section 6(b) above, the provisions of this Section 6
shall be applied on a basis that enables the Director to participate, as applicable, as a shareholder (with respect to any portion of the Additional Award held by the Director immediately prior to the Change of Control) on the same basis as other
holders of Stock. 
 All references to the Committee in this Section 6 shall be construed to refer to the Committee as constituted and acting prior to
consummation of the Change of Control. For the avoidance of doubt, no Committee action permitted by this Section 6 will be treated as an action requiring the Director’s consent under Section 10 of the Plan. 

7. ANNUAL AWARD SUB-ACCOUNT – DATE OF DELIVERY: Shares of Stock equal in number to the shares credited to the Director’s Annual
Award Sub-Account (rounded up to the nearest whole share) shall be transferred by the Company to the Director (or, in the event of the Director’s death, to the Director’s Beneficiary) as soon as practicable after and in all events within
[    ] business days after the date on which the Director ceases for any reason to be a member of the Board; provided, that in the event of an earlier Change of Control, such shares of Stock shall instead be delivered
to the Director (or, in the event of the Director’s death, to the Director’s Beneficiary), immediately prior to the Change of Control. 

8. ADDITIONAL AWARD SUB-ACCOUNT – DATE OF DELIVERY: Shares of Stock equal in number to the shares credited to the Director’s
Additional Award Sub-Account (rounded up to the nearest whole share) shall be transferred by the Company to the Director (or, in the event of the Director’s death, to the Director’s beneficiary) as

  
 -2- 

 
soon as practicable after and in all events within [    ] business days after the date of vesting determined pursuant to Sections 5 and 6 above; provided,
that if the Director has timely elected a deferral of any portion of his Additional Award Sub-Account, such portion (if vested) shall instead be paid in accordance with Section 9. 

9. ELECTION TO DEFER: The Director may elect to have payment of the vested balance, if any, of his Additional Award Sub-Account made at the
same time as payment of his Annual Award Sub-Account pursuant to Section 7 in lieu of the payment terms described in Section 8. Any such election must be made no later than December 31 of the calendar year preceding the calendar year
in which such Award is granted or at such other time as is necessary to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A, as determined by the Administrator. Each such election shall be in a form acceptable to the Administrator. 

10. ADJUSTMENTS: The Award and the shares of Stock subject to the Award are subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3 of the Plan.

 11. WITHHOLDING: The Director or Beneficiary shall, no later than the date on which any share of Stock is transferred to the Director or
Beneficiary and as a condition to such transfer, pay to the Company in cash, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee regarding payment of, any Federal, state, or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such
income. If any taxes are required to be withheld prior to such transfer of such share of Stock (for example, upon the vesting of the right to receive such share), the Company may require the Director or Beneficiary to pay such taxes timely in cash
by separate payment, may withhold the required taxes from other amounts payable to Grantee or Beneficiary, or may agree with the Director or Beneficiary on other arrangements for the payment of such taxes, all as the Company determines in its
discretion. 
 12. SECTION 83(b) NOT APPLICABLE: Because the Award does not give to the Directors a present ownership right in any Stock,
but only a conditional right to acquire shares of Stock in the future, the Director shall not be entitled to make a so-called “83(b) election” with respect to the shares of Stock subject to the Award.
