Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

As previously disclosed, on August 11, 2010, Kohl’s, Inc. f/k/a Kohl’s Department Stores, Inc. (“Kohl’s”) and Capital One, National Association (“Capital One”) entered into a strategic alliance related to the private label credit card operations of Kohl’s and its subsidiaries, and as part of this alliance, Kohl’s and Capital One entered into a Private Label Credit Card Program Agreement, as amended from time to time (the “Program Agreement”).

 

Effective March 14, 2022, the parties have amended and restated the Program Agreement (“Amended Program Agreement”).

 

Pursuant to the Amended Program Agreement, Capital One will: (a) continue to offer private label credit cards to new and existing customers of Kohl’s; and (b) in the future (and subject to various implementation factors) also offer a co-branded credit card where the Kohl’s card is co-branded with a major payment network and can be used in Kohl’s and various non-Kohl’s locations (collectively, the “Program”). The Program will operate in substantially the same manner as it currently operates, and with planned modernization of technology and processes. The effects of the transaction will be largely transparent to Kohl’s customers.

 

The initial term of the Amended Program Agreement runs through March 31, 2030.

 

The foregoing is a brief description of the terms and conditions of the amendment to the Program Agreement and does not purport to be complete. A copy of the Amended Program Agreement is expected to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of Kohl’s Corporation for the quarter ending April 30, 2022.

 

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

On March 18, 2022, Kohl’s Corporation issued a press release announcing the amendment to the Program Agreement. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

The information in Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, is furnished solely pursuant to Item 7.01 of Form 8-K. Consequently, such information is not deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. Further, the information in Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into the filings of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933.
