Kohl’s Corporation Announces Increase in the Amount of Notes and Debentures to be Accepted in its Cash Tender Offer

Kohl’s Corporation (NYSE: KSS) announced today that it has increased the maximum combined aggregate principal amount of notes and debentures it may purchase in the previously announced cash tender offer (the "Tender Offer") for its 7.250% Debentures due 2029, 6.875% Notes due 2037, 6.000% Debentures due 2033, 4.000% Notes due 2021, 4.750% Notes due 2023 and 3.250% Notes due 2023 (collectively, the “Notes”) from $300,000,000 to $499,917,000 (as increased, the “Maximum Amount”). As of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, April 13, 2018 (the “Early Tender Deadline”), $722,212,000 combined aggregate principal amount of Notes had been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Tender Offer.

The Tender Offer is being made pursuant to, and subject to the terms and conditions in, an Offer to Purchase, dated April 2, 2018 (the "Offer to Purchase") which sets forth a description of the terms of the Tender Offer. Aside from the increase in the Maximum Amount, all other terms of the Tender Offer remain unchanged.

The settlement for the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn on or before the Early Tender Deadline and accepted for purchase by Kohl’s is expected to take place on April 17, 2018. Holders whose Notes are accepted for purchase will receive the applicable total consideration to be calculated at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, today by the Lead Dealer Manager and announced by separate release later today. Based on the increased Maximum Amount, Kohl’s expects to accept for purchase the majority of the Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline.

The Tender Offer will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on April 27, 2018, unless extended (such date and time, as the same may be extended, the "Expiration Time"). The withdrawal deadline of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on April 13, 2018 (the "Withdrawal Deadline") and the Early Tender Deadline have passed and have not been extended. Accordingly, previously tendered Notes and Notes tendered after the Withdrawal Deadline and at or prior to the Expiration Time (as defined below) may not be withdrawn, subject to applicable law. However, as Kohl’s intends, subject to the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer, to accept for purchase the Maximum Amount of Notes tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline, further tenders of Notes prior to the Expiration Time will not be accepted for purchase.

The obligation of Kohl’s to accept for purchase, and to pay for, any Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer is conditioned upon the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions described in the Offer to Purchase under the heading “Terms of the Tender Offer—Conditions of the Tender Offer.” Subject to applicable law, the Tender Offer may be amended, extended, terminated or withdrawn with respect to one or more series of Notes.

No offer, solicitation, purchase or sale will be made in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. The Tender Offer is being made solely pursuant to terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase.
