performance or results of current and anticipated sales, expenses, interest rates, foreign exchange rates and results and the outcome of contingencies such as litigation, liquidity, and similar matters. Forward-looking statements are inherently
subject to risks, uncertainties and potentially inaccurate assumptions. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements. These statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking
words or phrases such as &#147;anticipate,&#148; &#147;believe,&#148; &#147;could,&#148; &#147;estimate,&#148; &#147;expect,&#148; &#147;forecast,&#148; &#147;intend,&#148; &#147;looking forward,&#148; &#147;may,&#148; &#147;plan,&#148;

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In December 2019, a novel coronavirus (&#147;COVID-19&#148;) emerged and has subsequently spread worldwide. The World Health Organization has
declared COVID-19 a pandemic resulting in federal, state and local governments and private entities mandating various restrictions, including travel restrictions, restrictions on public gatherings, stay at home orders and advisories and quarantining
of people who may have been exposed to the virus. After close monitoring and taking into consideration the guidance from federal, state and local governments, in an effort to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, effective March 19, 2020, the Company
closed all of its stores for at least two weeks and has temporarily closed its online businesses, its distribution centers and its offices with Associates working remotely where possible. The Company continues to monitor developments, including
government requirements and recommendations at the federal, state and local level to evaluate possible extensions to all or part of such closures. We expect the cadence of store re-openings to vary by state and locality in the U.S., and by country.
TJX has committed to pay its Associates until the week ending April 4, 2020 during these closures. For periods after such date, we are evaluating a variety of measures including extending store closures, continuing pay for certain Associates,
potential temporary furloughs for other Associates and temporary pay reductions for certain senior management. The temporary closure of our stores is expected to have an adverse impact on our results of operations, financial position and liquidity.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have taken several steps to further strengthen our financial position and balance sheet, and maintain financial liquidity and
flexibility, including suspending our share repurchase program, reviewing operating expenses, evaluating, and in some cases, cancelling merchandise purchases or extending merchandise payment terms, reducing capital expenditures and drawing down
$1.0&nbsp;billion on our revolving credit facilities. In addition, we do not intend to declare a dividend for the first quarter of fiscal 2021. We continue to evaluate our dividend program in the near term, while we remain committed to paying our
dividends whenever the environment normalizes for the long term. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As the COVID-19 pandemic is complex and rapidly evolving, the
Company&#146;s plans as described above may change. At this point, we cannot reasonably estimate the duration and severity of this pandemic, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial position and

prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, including the discussion of risk factors in our Annual Report on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-K</FONT> for the fiscal year ended February&nbsp;1, 2020, which is incorporated by
reference, before making a decision to invest in the notes. The following is not intended as, and should not be construed as, an exhaustive list of relevant risk factors. There may be other risks that a prospective investor should consider that are
relevant to its own particular circumstances or generally. If any of the matters included in the following risks were to occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects could be materially adversely affected.
In such case, you may lose all or part of your investment. </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Risks Related to the Notes </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>The notes are effectively subordinated to the existing and future liabilities of our subsidiaries. </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities from us. None of our subsidiaries will guarantee the notes, and our subsidiaries will
have no obligation to pay any amounts due on the notes or to provide us with funds to meet our payment obligations on the notes, whether in the form of dividends, distributions, loans or other payments. In addition, any payment of dividends, loans
or advances by our subsidiaries could be subject to statutory or contractual restrictions. Payments to us by our subsidiaries will also be contingent upon the subsidiaries&#146; earnings, legal ability to pay dividends and business considerations.
Our right to receive any assets of any of our subsidiaries upon their bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization, and therefore the right of the holders of the notes to participate in those assets, will be effectively subordinated to the claims of
that subsidiary&#146;s creditors, including trade creditors. In addition, even if we were a creditor of any of our subsidiaries, our right as a creditor would be subordinate to any secured indebtedness and other secured liabilities of our
subsidiaries to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness and liabilities, and to all indebtedness and other liabilities of our subsidiaries senior to that held by us. As of February&nbsp;1, 2020, our subsidiaries had no
long-term indebtedness outstanding. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>The notes would be subject to prior claims of any secured creditors. </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The notes are our senior unsecured general obligations, ranking equally with other unsecured and unsubordinated debt but effectively junior to
any secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets constituting the security for such secured debt. The indenture governing the notes permits us and our subsidiaries to incur secured debt under specified circumstances. If we incur any debt
secured by our assets or assets of our subsidiaries, these assets will be subject to the prior claims of our secured creditors, and in the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization or similar proceeding, these pledged assets
would be available to satisfy secured obligations before any payments could be made on the notes. To the extent that such assets could not satisfy in full any such secured obligations, the holders of such obligations would have a claim for any
shortfall that would rank equally in right of payment with the notes (or effectively senior to the notes in the case of claims against our subsidiaries). In that case, we might not have sufficient assets remaining to pay amounts due on any or all of
the notes. As of February&nbsp;1, 2020, we had $2.2&nbsp;billion in senior long-term indebtedness, all of which would be pari passu with the notes. To strengthen our financial position and balance sheet, and maintain financial liquidity and
flexibility in light of the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">COVID-19</FONT> pandemic, following the end of fiscal 2020 the Company incurred an additional $1.0&nbsp;billion in senior long-term indebtedness under its revolving credit facilities that
would be pari passu with the notes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>The indenture does not restrict the amount of additional unsecured debt that we may incur. </I></B></P>

by us. In the future, depending on liquidity and capital needs, the Company may enter into commitments for additional debt financing and may make borrowings pursuant to such </P>

commitments. There can be no assurance that we will enter into any such debt commitments or make any such borrowings, or that such debt commitments or borrowings will be available to us on terms
we find acceptable or at all. Our incurrence of additional debt may have important consequences for you as a holder of the notes, including making it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to the notes, a loss in the market
value of your notes, and a risk that the credit rating of the notes is lowered or withdrawn.</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>The negative covenants are not applicable to our <FONT

Notes&#151;Restrictions on Secured Debt&#148; and &#147;Description of Notes&#151;Restrictions on Sale and Leaseback Transactions&#148;, the indenture contains negative covenants limiting us and our designated restricted subsidiaries from issuing,
assuming or guaranteeing secured debt and entering into certain sale and leaseback transactions. Those covenants do not apply to our <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-restricted</FONT> subsidiaries, and the indenture does not require us to
maintain any restricted subsidiaries. The indenture does not limit the secured debt incurred, assumed or guaranteed by our <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-restricted</FONT> subsidiaries, or limit sale and leaseback transactions entered into by
our <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-restricted</FONT> subsidiaries. As of the date of the issuance of the notes, none of our subsidiaries had been designated as a restricted subsidiary. As of February&nbsp;1, 2020, approximately 71% of the
assets shown on our consolidated balance sheet were held by <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-restricted</FONT> subsidiaries, and none of the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-restricted</FONT> subsidiaries had secured long-term debt or were
parties to sale and leaseback transactions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>We may not be able to repurchase the notes upon a Change of Control. </I></B></P>

together with a downgrade in the ratings on the notes of a series as a result of such Change of Control we will be required to offer to purchase all or any part of each holder&#146;s notes of such series at a purchase price equal to 101% of their
principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase, unless we have exercised our right to redeem the notes of such series. If we experience a &#147;Change of Control Triggering Event,&#148; (as defined in
&#147;Description of Notes&#151;Change of Control&#148;) there can be no assurance that we would have sufficient financial resources available to satisfy our obligations to repurchase the notes. Our failure to purchase the notes of a series as
required under the indenture governing the notes of such series would result in a default under the indenture with respect to such series of notes, which could have material adverse consequences for us and the holders of the notes. See
&#147;Description of Notes&#151;Change of Control.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Our credit ratings may not reflect all risks of your investment in the notes. </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The credit ratings assigned to the notes are limited in scope, and do not address all material risks relating to an investment in the notes,
but rather reflect only the view of each rating agency at the time the rating is issued. An explanation of the significance of such rating may be obtained from such rating agency. There can be no assurance that such credit ratings will remain in
effect for any given period of time or that a rating will not be lowered, suspended or withdrawn entirely by the applicable rating agencies, if, in such rating agency&#146;s judgment, circumstances so warrant. Agency credit ratings are not a
recommendation to buy, sell or hold any security. Each agency&#146;s rating should be evaluated independently of any other agency&#146;s rating. Actual or anticipated changes or downgrades in our credit ratings, including any announcement that our
ratings are under further review for a downgrade, could affect the market value of the notes and increase our corporate borrowing costs. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>The terms

Accordingly, the ability to transfer interests in the notes represented by a global note to those persons may be limited. In addition, because DTC can act only on behalf of its participants, who in turn act on behalf of persons who hold interests
through participants, the ability of a person having an interest in notes represented by a global note to pledge or transfer those interests to persons or entities that do not participate in DTC&#146;s system, or otherwise to take actions in respect
of such interest, may be affected by the lack of a physical definitive security in respect of such interest. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">So long as DTC or its

owners or holders thereof under the indenture or under the notes for any purpose, including with respect to the giving of any direction, instruction or approval to the trustee. Accordingly, each holder owning a beneficial interest in a global note
must rely on the procedures of DTC and, if that holder is not a direct or indirect participant, on the procedures of the participant through which that holder owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a holder of notes under the indenture or a
global note. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Neither we nor the trustee will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments

We expect that DTC or its nominee, upon receipt of any payment on the notes represented by a global note, will credit participants&#146; accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the global note as
shown in the records of DTC or its nominee. We also expect that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in the global note held through such participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practice as is now
the case with securities held for the accounts of customers registered in the names of nominees for such customers. The participants will be solely responsible for those payments. </P>

such payments or redemptions will have to be paid is &#147;remote&#148;, that the amount of such payments or redemptions in the aggregate will be &#147;incidental&#148;, and/or relating to the expected yield to maturity of the notes. Our
determination on this issue is binding on a holder unless such holder discloses its contrary position in the manner required by applicable United States Treasury Regulations. Our position is not, however, binding on the IRS, and if the IRS were to
successfully challenge this position, it could affect the amount, timing and character of a holder&#146;s income and gain with respect to the notes. In addition, if our position is respected and if a contingency we treated as &#147;remote&#148; or

is a new issue of securities with no established trading market. We do not intend to apply for listing of the notes on any national securities exchange or for inclusion of the notes on any automated dealer quotation system. We have been advised by
the underwriters that they presently intend to make a market in the notes of each series after completion of the offering. However, they are under no obligation to do so and may discontinue any market-making activities at any time without any
notice. We cannot assure the liquidity of the applicable trading market for the notes or that an active public market for notes of any series will develop. If an active public trading market does not develop, the market price and liquidity of the
notes of the applicable series may be adversely affected. If the notes are traded, they may trade at a discount from their initial offering price, depending on prevailing interest rates, the market for similar securities, our operating performance
and financial condition, general economic conditions and other factors. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Short Positions </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In connection with the offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell the notes in the open market. These transactions may include short
sales and purchases on the open market to cover positions created by short sales. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater principal amount of notes than they are required to purchase in the offering. The underwriters must close
out any short position by purchasing notes in the open market. A short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the notes in the open market after pricing that could
adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Similar to other purchase transactions, the underwriters&#146; purchases to
cover the syndicate short sales may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market prices of the notes or preventing or retarding a decline in the market prices of the notes. As a result, the prices of the notes may be higher than the prices
that might otherwise exist in the open market. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Neither we nor any of the underwriters make any representation or prediction as to the
direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the prices of the notes. In addition, neither we nor any of the underwriters make any representation that the representatives will engage in these transactions or
that these transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Other Relationships </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Some of the underwriters and their affiliates have engaged in, and may in the future engage in, investment banking and other commercial
dealings in the ordinary course of business with us or our affiliates. They have received, or may in the future receive, customary fees and commissions for these transactions. In particular, affiliates of BofA Securities, Inc., Deutsche Bank
Securities Inc., U.S. Bancorp Investments, Inc., HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC are lenders under our credit facilities. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, in the ordinary course of their business activities, the underwriters and their affiliates may make or hold a broad array of
investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers. Such investments and securities activities
may involve securities and/or instruments of ours or our affiliates. Certain of the underwriters or their affiliates that have a lending relationship with us routinely hedge their credit exposure to us consistent with their customary risk management
policies.&nbsp;Typically, such underwriters and their affiliates would hedge such exposure by entering into transactions which consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in our&nbsp;securities,
including potentially the notes offered hereby. </P>
