Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
On February 2, 2024, The TJX Companies, Inc. (“TJX” or the “Company”) entered into new agreements with John Klinger, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, and Scott Goldenberg, Senior Executive Vice President, Finance, in connection with the Company’s succession planning process. The agreements reflect Mr. Klinger’s promotion to Senior Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, and Mr. Goldenberg’s transition to an executive advisory role, in each case effective February 4, 2024.
The agreement with Mr. Klinger provides for an annual base salary of $825,000 as of February 4, 2024 and otherwise generally continues the terms and conditions of his existing offer letter agreement with the Company, including eligibility to participate in the Company’s Management Incentive Plan (“MIP”), Long Range Performance Incentive Plan (“LRPIP”), and Stock Incentive Plan (“SIP”) at a level commensurate with his position and responsibilities. Under the new agreement, Mr. Klinger will be eligible for a MIP target award opportunity of 85% of actual base salary earned during FY25, an LRPIP target award opportunity of $450,000 for the FY25-27 award cycle, and a target total value of $2,900,000 for the next stock award granted to him under the SIP. The agreement with Mr. Goldenberg extends the term of his existing employment agreement with the Company until April 25, 2025, unless the employment agreement is terminated earlier in accordance with its terms, and reflects that Mr. Goldenberg will no longer serve as an executive officer of TJX as of February 3, 2024 (the last day of FY24). The agreement with Mr. Goldenberg provides for an annual base salary of $750,000 and continued eligibility to participate in MIP, LRPIP and SIP at a level commensurate with his position and responsibilities, with outstanding LRPIP awards adjusted downward based on his new role as of February 4, 2024 and with salary and incentives subject to further adjustment in connection with any mutually agreed adjustments to his employment schedule, and otherwise generally continues the terms and conditions of his existing employment agreement with the Company.
On February 2, 2024, TJX also entered into a letter agreement with Kenneth Canestrari, Senior Executive Vice President, Group President that extends the term of Mr. Canestrari’s existing employment agreement with the Company until January 30, 2027, unless the agreement is terminated earlier in accordance with its terms. The agreement also provides for a minimum annual base salary of $1,000,000 and otherwise continues the terms and conditions of his existing employment agreement.
The foregoing summaries of the agreements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the agreements, copies of which will be filed with the SEC as exhibits to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2024.
