(e) Approval of Kohl's Corporation 2024 Long-Term Compensation Plan, as amended and restated effective May 20, 2026
At the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the "Annual Meeting") of Kohl's Corporation (the "Company" or "Kohl's"), the Company's shareholders approved the Kohl's Corporation 2024 Long-Term Compensation Plan, as amended and restated effective May 20, 2026 (the "Plan").

The Plan is a material compensatory arrangement in which the Company's named executive officers are eligible to participate.
Among other updates, the Plan was amended and restated to (i) increase the number of shares of Kohl's common stock authorized for issuance under the Plan by 5,200,000 shares and increase the limit on the number of shares of Kohl's common stock that can be used as awards of incentive stock options by the same amount; (ii) extend the term of the Plan for ten years through May 20, 2036; and (iii) establish a limit of $750,000 on the total annual compensation, including cash and equity, that may be paid to any non-employee director during a single board service year. As amended, the aggregate number of shares of Kohl's common stock authorized under the Plan is 12,850,000 (representing 7,650,000 shares originally authorized on May 15, 2024 and 5,200,000 shares authorized as of May 20, 2026), plus unused shares that were subject to outstanding awards as of March 29, 2024, which totaled 4,785,851 as of said date, to the extent not used under the Plan.
The Plan provides for the grant of the following types of awards to Kohl's current and former employees and non-employee members of the Company's Board of Directors: (i) stock options; (ii) stock appreciation rights; (iii) stock awards, including restricted stock and restricted stock units; (iv) performance units; (v) performance shares; and (vi) substitute awards.
The foregoing description of the Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
