NOTICE OF CHANGE TO VIRTUAL MEETING FORMAT FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS OF THE TJX COMPANIES,
INC.
JUNE 9, 2020
Due to the ongoing public
health impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and to support the health and safety of the Companys shareholders, Associates, directors, and communities, NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of The TJX Companies, Inc.
(the Annual Meeting) will now be held in a virtual-only meeting format, solely by means of remote communication. Shareholders will not be able to attend the Annual Meeting physically in person. We currently expect to hold a meeting in
person next year, but any decision regarding the location and format of future meetings of shareholders will be made in consideration of a number of factors, including prevailing health, safety, and other concerns at such time.
As previously announced, the Annual Meeting will be held on Tuesday, June 9, 2020, at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time. The items to be voted on by
shareholders as of the close of business on April 13, 2020 (the Record Date), are the same as set forth in the 2020 Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders and Proxy Statement dated April 23, 2020 previously mailed or made
available to shareholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting (the Proxy Materials).
To be admitted to the Annual Meeting, you must be a
shareholder as of the Record Date. Shareholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will need to log in to www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/TJX2020, the virtual meeting website, using the 16-digit unique
control number found on the proxy card or voting instruction form included with the Proxy Materials. If you are a street holder that did not receive a 16-digit unique control number with your Proxy Materials,
please contact your bank, broker, or third party holder as soon as possible to obtain a valid legal proxy and for instructions on how to obtain a control number to be admitted to and to vote at the Annual Meeting. A list of shareholders of record on
the Record Date will be available electronically to shareholders during the Annual Meeting.
Shareholders may submit questions relevant to meeting matters
in advance of or during the Annual Meeting. We encourage shareholders to submit questions in advance, which they can do at www.proxyvote.com after logging in with the 16-digit unique control number found on
the proxy card or voting instruction form included with the Proxy Materials. We request that questions sent in advance be submitted before Friday, June 5, 2020. Shareholders may also submit questions during the Annual Meeting at
www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/TJX2020, the virtual meeting website, by joining the Annual Meeting with their 16-digit unique control number and following the instructions available on the virtual meeting
website.
We expect to answer questions during the Annual Meeting as time permits, and we reserve the right to exclude questions that are not pertinent to
meeting matters. If we receive substantially similar questions, we may group such questions together and provide a single response to avoid repetition.
The virtual meeting website will be active starting approximately May 26, 2020, two weeks before the date of the Annual Meeting. We encourage
shareholders to test their browser in advance from the computer, tablet, or mobile device that they plan to use to log in to the Annual Meeting per the instructions provided on the virtual meeting website and to allow sufficient time to log in to
the virtual meeting website prior to the start of the Annual Meeting. If shareholders encounter technical difficulties accessing our Annual Meeting on the day of the Annual Meeting, a support line will be available on the login page of the
virtual meeting website shortly before the Annual Meeting is scheduled to start.
Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, shareholders are
encouraged to vote prior to the Annual Meeting by internet, by telephone, or by mail as described in the Proxy Materials. Shareholders may also vote during the Annual Meeting until the polls have closed. Shareholders who have already voted do not
need to vote again. Shareholders may continue to use the proxy card or voting instruction form already received to vote shares in connection with the Annual Meeting. The proxy card or voting instruction form included with the Proxy Materials will
not be reissued to reflect this change in meeting format.
