<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On February&nbsp;3, 2022, Kohl&#146;s Corporation (the &#147;<I>Company</I>&#148;) entered into a Rights Agreement between the Company and
Equiniti Trust Company as Rights Agent (as amended from time to time, the &#147;<I>Rights Agreement</I>&#148;) that was previously approved by the Board of Directors of the Company. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In connection with the Rights Agreement, a dividend was declared of one preferred stock purchase right (individually, a
&#147;<I>Right</I>&#148; and collectively, the &#147;<I>Rights</I>&#148;) for each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the &#147;<I>Common Stock</I>&#148;), of the Company outstanding at the close of business on February&nbsp;14, 2022
(the &#147;<I>Record Date</I>&#148;). Each Right will entitle the registered holder thereof, after the Rights become exercisable and until February&nbsp;2, 2023 (or the earlier redemption, exchange or termination of the Rights), to purchase from the
Company one <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">one-thousandth</FONT> of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the &#147;<I>Series A Preferred</I>&#148;), of the Company at a price of $250 per one <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">one-thousandth</FONT> of a share of Series A Preferred (the &#147;<I>Purchase Price</I>&#148;). Until the earlier to occur of (i)&nbsp;the close of business on the tenth business day following a public announcement that a
person or group of affiliated or associated persons has acquired, or obtained the right to acquire, beneficial ownership of 10% (20% in the case of a passive institutional investor) or more of the Common Stock (an &#147;<I>Acquiring
Person</I>&#148;) or (ii)&nbsp;the close of business on the tenth business day (or such later date as may be determined by action of the Board of Directors prior to such time as any person or group of affiliated or associated persons becomes an
Acquiring Person) following the commencement or announcement of an intention to make a tender offer or exchange offer the consummation of which would result in a person or group becoming an Acquiring Person (the earlier of (i)&nbsp;and (ii) being
called the &#147;<I>Distribution Date</I>&#148;), the Rights will be evidenced, with respect to any of the Common Stock certificates outstanding as of the Record Date, by such Common Stock certificates, or, with respect to any uncertificated Common
Stock registered in book entry form, by notation in book entry, in either case together with a copy of the Summary of Rights attached as Exhibit C to the Rights Agreement. Under the Rights Agreement, synthetic ownership of Common Stock in the form
of derivative securities counts towards the ownership threshold, to the extent actual shares of Common Stock equivalent to the economic exposure created by the derivative security are directly or indirectly beneficially owned by a counterparty to
such derivative security. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Rights Agreement provides that any person who beneficially owned 10% (20% in the case of a passive
institutional investor) or more of the Common Stock immediately prior to the first public announcement of the adoption of the Rights Agreement, together with any affiliates and associates of that person (each an &#147;<I>Existing Holder</I>&#148;),
shall not be deemed to be an &#147;Acquiring Person&#148; for purposes of the Rights Agreement unless an Existing Holder becomes the beneficial owner of one or more additional shares of Common Stock (other than pursuant to a dividend or distribution
paid or made by the Company on the outstanding Common Stock in Common Stock or pursuant to a split or subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock) and upon acquiring such additional shares, the Existing Holder beneficially owns 10% (20% or more in
the case of a passive institutional investor)<SUP STYLE="font-size:85%; vertical-align:top"> </SUP>or more of the Common Stock then outstanding, or if the Existing Holder exchanges synthetic ownership of Common Stock to another form of beneficial
ownership (other than pursuant to the express terms of a written agreement as it existed immediately prior to the first public announcement of the Rights Agreement). </P>

earlier redemption, exchange, termination or expiration of the Rights). As soon as practicable following the Distribution Date, separate certificates evidencing the Rights (&#147;<I>Right Certificates</I>&#148;) will be mailed to holders of record
of the Common Stock as of the close of business on the Distribution Date and such separate Right Certificates alone will evidence the Rights. </P>

quarterly dividend payment of $0.01 per share or, if greater, an aggregate dividend of 1,000 times the dividend, if any, declared per share of Common Stock. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of the
Series A Preferred will be entitled to a minimum preferential liquidation payment of $1,000 per share (plus any accrued but unpaid dividends), provided that such holders of the Series A Preferred will be entitled to an aggregate payment of 1,000
times the payment made per share of Common Stock. Each share of Series A Preferred will have 1,000 votes and will vote together with the Common Stock. Finally, in the event of any merger, consolidation or other transaction in which shares of the
Common Stock are exchanged, each share of Series A Preferred will be entitled to receive 1,000 times the amount received per share of Common Stock. The Series A Preferred will not be redeemable. The Rights are protected by customary anti-dilution
provisions. Because of the nature of the Series A Preferred&#146;s dividend and liquidation rights, the value of one <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">one-thousandth</FONT> of a share of Series A Preferred purchasable upon exercise of each Right
should approximate the value of one share of Common Stock. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Purchase Price payable, and the number of one <FONT

dividend on, or a subdivision, combination or reclassification of, the Series A Preferred, (ii)&nbsp;upon the grant to holders of the Series A Preferred of certain rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Series A Preferred or convertible
securities at less than the current market price of the Series A Preferred or (iii)&nbsp;upon the distribution to holders of the Series A Preferred of evidences of indebtedness, cash, securities or assets (excluding regular periodic cash dividends

of the Company&#146; s stockholders for the purpose of voting on whether or not to exempt such Qualifying Offer from the terms of the Rights Agreement. Such a special meeting may be requested not earlier than 70 nor later than 90 business days
following the commencement of a Qualifying Offer. If the Board of Directors has received a demand for such a special meeting that is proper and timely pursuant to the terms of the Rights Agreement, such special meeting shall be convened within 180
business days following commencement of the Qualifying Offer. If such special meeting is not convened within such 180 business day period or at such special meeting, holders of a majority of the voting power of shares of Common Stock entitled to
vote thereon vote in favor of exempting the Qualifying Offer, then the Qualifying Offer shall be deemed exempt from the Rights Agreement as of such 180th business day or the date on which the results of such special meeting are certified. In any
event, upon the effective date of the exemption of the Rights, the right to exercise the Rights with respect to the Qualifying Offer will terminate. </P>

assure that all of the Company&#146;s shareholders receive fair and equal treatment in the event of any proposed takeover of the Company and to guard against partial tender offers, open market accumulations and other abusive or coercive tactics to
gain control of the Company without paying all shareholders a control premium. The Rights will cause substantial dilution to a person or group that acquires 10% (20% in the case of a passive institutional investor) or more of the Common Stock on
terms not approved by the Company&#146;s Board of Directors. The Rights should not interfere with any merger or other business combination approved by the Board of Directors at any time prior to the first date that a person or group has become an
Acquiring Person. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Articles of Amendment establishing the terms of the Series A Preferred and the Rights Agreement specifying the
terms of the Rights are incorporated herein by reference as exhibits to this registration statement. The foregoing summary of the Rights Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibits. </P>
