A webcast of the conference call and related presentation materials will be available via the Company’s web site at investors.kohls.com, both live and after the call.

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

Termination of Chief Executive Officer On April 30, 2025, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company terminated J. Ashley Buchanan as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer for Cause (as defined in the Executive Compensation Agreement dated as of January 15, 2025 between Mr. Buchanan and Kohl’s, Inc. (the “ECA”)), effective immediately. In accordance with the terms of the ECA, Mr. Buchanan is no longer a director of the Corporation. Consequently, the Board has reduced the number of directors constituting the Board from 12 to 11. Mr. Buchanan’s termination follows an investigation conducted by outside counsel and overseen by the Audit Committee of the Board, during which it was found that Mr. Buchanan had directed that the Company conduct business with a vendor founded by an individual with whom Mr. Buchanan has a personal relationship on highly unusual terms favorable to the vendor and that he also caused the Company to enter into a multi-million dollar consulting agreement wherein the same individual was a part of the consulting team. It also found that in neither case did Mr. Buchanan disclose this relationship as required under Company’s Code of Ethics. The Board determined that Mr. Buchanan’s conduct in both instances constituted Cause as defined in the ECA. In connection with his termination and in accordance with the terms of his equity award agreements, Mr. Buchanan will forfeit all equity awards he received from the Company, including the recruitment awards made as of January 15, 2025. In accordance with the terms of the Signing Incentive Reimbursement Agreement between Mr. Buchanan and Kohl’s, Inc., Mr. Buchanan will also be required to reimburse Kohl’s, Inc. for a pro rata portion of his signing incentive in the amount of $2,500,000. For the avoidance of doubt, Mr. Buchanan is not entitled to any payments under the ECA as a result of his termination for Cause, other than accrued obligations and continuing benefits. As a result of Mr. Buchanan’s termination, the Board has determined to withdraw his nomination for election as a director of the Company at the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders to be held on May 14, 2025. Any votes cast in favor of Mr. Buchanan’s election will not be given effect. Mr. Buchanan’s termination is not related to the Company’s performance, financial reporting or results of

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information and Non-GAAP Measures This current report on Form 8-K contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company intends forward-looking terminology such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “plans,” or similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, which could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, risks described more fully in Item 1A in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which is expressly incorporated herein by reference, and other factors as may periodically be described in the Company’s filings with the SEC. Forward-looking statements relate to the date initially made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update them. In the attached presentation materials, the Company provides information regarding free cash flow, which is not a recognized term under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and does not purport to be an alternative to net income as a measure of operating performance. A reconciliation of free cash flow is provided in the presentation materials attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

Accelerated Stock Repurchase Agreement On August 18, 2022, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement (the “ASR Agreement”), pursuant to its previously announced share repurchase program, with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman”) to repurchase approximately $500 million of the Company’s common stock. Under the ASR Agreement, the Company will make an aggregate payment of $500 million to Goldman and will receive an aggregate initial delivery of approximately 11.8 million shares of common stock on August 22, 2022, representing approximately 80% of the total shares that are expected to be repurchased under the ASR Agreement. The exact number of shares the Company ultimately will repurchase under the ASR Agreement will be based generally on the average of the daily volume-weighted average price per share of the common stock during the repurchase period, less a discount and is subject to adjustments pursuant to the terms and conditions of the ASR Agreement. At settlement, under certain circumstances, Goldman may be required to deliver additional shares of common stock to the Company, or under certain circumstances, the Company may be required either to deliver shares of common stock or to make a cash payment to Goldman. Final settlement of the transactions under the ASR Agreement is expected to occur in November 2022. Subject to completion of the repurchase under the ASR Agreement, the Company expects approximately $2.5 billion of shares of its common stock will remain available for repurchase under its current share repurchase program. While the amount and timing of future share purchases are subject to a number of factors, including the Company’s
