forward-looking statements. In addition, any statements that do not relate to historical or current facts or matters are forward-looking statements. Statements concerning current conditions may also be forward-looking if they imply a continuation of
current conditions. Examples of forward-looking statements within this document include, but are not limited to, statements concerning the additional steps that we intend to take to mitigate the risk that our necessary 3TG benefit armed groups. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual actions or performance to differ materially from those expressed in
the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: (1)&nbsp;the continued implementation of satisfactory traceability and other compliance measures by our direct and indirect suppliers on a timely basis or
at all; (2)&nbsp;whether smelters and refiners and other market participants responsibly source 3TG; and (3)&nbsp;political and regulatory developments, whether in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (&#147;DRC&#148;) or an adjoining country
(collectively, the &#147;Covered Countries&#148;), the United States or elsewhere. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of the filing of this document. We do not intend,
and undertake no obligation, to publish revised forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of the filing of this document or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. </P>

private and national brand apparel, footwear, accessories, beauty, and home products. Our Kohl&#146;s stores generally carry a consistent merchandise assortment with some differences attributable to local preferences, store size, and Sephora. Our
website includes merchandise which is available in our stores, as well as merchandise that is available only online. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our merchandise mix includes both
national brands and private brands that are available only at Kohl&#146;s. Our private portfolio includes well-known established brands such as Croft&nbsp;&amp; Barrow, Jumping Beans, SO, Sonoma Goods for Life and Tek Gear, and exclusive brands that
are developed and marketed through agreements with nationally-recognized brands such as Food Network, LC Lauren Conrad, Nine West, and Simply Vera Vera Wang. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We believe that we are subject to the Conflict Minerals Rule because of the degree of influence that we
exercise over some of the materials, parts or components of some of the private portfolio products that are manufactured for us and that contain necessary 3TG. However, for some of our private portfolio products, we exercise no influence over the
materials, parts or components of the products. Our involvement with those products is limited to having the manufacturer affix our portfolio brand name to the products. Those products and the related suppliers are therefore not <FONT

directly source 3TG from mines, smelters or refiners and believe that we are many levels removed from these market participants. However, through the efforts described below, we seek to ensure that our private portfolio suppliers&#146; sourcing
practices are consistent with our Conflict Minerals Policy described below. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For 2023, notwithstanding our due diligence efforts discussed herein, we were
unable to determine the origin of at least a portion of the necessary 3TG in each of the products that we contracted to manufacture. However, none of the necessary 3TG contained in our <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">in-scope</FONT> products were
determined by us to directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in a Covered Country. We did not conclude that any of our products were &#147;DRC conflict free.&#148; The terms &#147;armed group&#148; and &#147;DRC conflict free&#148;
