As previously disclosed in the Form 10-K filed by L Brands, Inc.

On June 27, 2020 (the “Termination Date”), the Committee authorized the termination of the SRP. Any remaining benefits and obligations under the SRP are expected to be paid out in full approximately one year following the Termination Date.

In addition, any retirement-eligible associates of the Company who were eligible for special pro rata vesting on any restricted stock units held by such associate will no longer receive pro rata vesting treatment on a retirement following the Termination Date.
