On November 8, 2016, Wesley S. McDonald, Chief Financial Officer of Kohl’s Corporation (the “Company”), notified the Company of his intent to retire after 14 years of service to the Company. McDonald’s retirement will be effective on a date to be mutually agreed upon by McDonald and the Company, but no later than July 2017. As described in further detail below, McDonald intends to then remain with the Company as a Senior Advisor for an additional year to assist with an orderly transition and with special projects. The Company is conducting a comprehensive search to identify McDonald’s successor.
In connection with his planned retirement, the Company and McDonald have entered into an agreement under which, after the effective date of his retirement, McDonald will continue to be employed by the Company for one additional year (the “Consulting Term”) as a Senior Advisor at his current level of salary and benefits. McDonald will remain eligible to participate in the Company’s annual incentive plan for fiscal 2016 and 2017. During the Consulting Term, McDonald’s previously granted equity awards will continue to vest in accordance with their terms and conditions, but McDonald will no longer be eligible to receive additional equity awards such as stock options, performance share units or restricted shares under the Company’s long-term compensation plans.
On November 9, 2016, the Company issued a press release announcing McDonald’s planned retirement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
