Kohl's Corporation filed a Form 8-K reporting a material event on August 27, 2025. The filing attaches a press release and presentation materials for the company's quarterly earnings conference call and states that referenced non-GAAP measures are presented alongside reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures in Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2. The filing also notes inclusion of an interactive Inline XBRL data file. The excerpt does not include revenue, earnings, guidance, or other numeric results.

Kohl's Corporation's board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.125 per share, payable on September 24, 2025, to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 10, 2025. This means each shareholder will receive 12.5 cents for every share held as of the record date. The filing attaches the company's press release announcing the dividend as Exhibit 99.1.

The 8-K contains no earnings figures, financial statements, or other material transactions; it reports only the dividend declaration and the related exhibit. Shareholders must be on the register by the stated record date to be eligible for the payment.

Kohl's Corp. (KSS) filed a Form 144 indicating an insider’s intent to sell 26,500 common shares on or after 22 Jul 2025 through Fidelity Brokerage Services on the NYSE. Based on the stated price, the sale is valued at $518,450, representing only 0.024 % of the company’s 112,041,679 shares outstanding, so dilution/float impact is negligible.

The shares being sold were acquired via multiple restricted-stock vesting events between 28 Feb 2023 and 15 Jul 2024 and were received as compensation rather than purchased for cash. No other sales by the filer occurred in the past three months. The signer certifies no undisclosed adverse information and, if relying on Rule 10b5-1, affirms compliance with the plan adoption date.

Kohl's Senior EVP & Chief Marketing Officer Raymond Christie reported changes in beneficial ownership on June 25, 2025. The transactions involved:

• Acquisition of 190 shares of Common Stock as dividend equivalent payments on vested restricted stock units
• Disposition of 61 shares at $8.22 per share to satisfy tax withholding obligations
• Following these transactions, Christie holds 254,849 shares directly, including 154,112 unvested restricted stock units

The Form 4 filing was submitted by power of attorney through Megan E. Glise on June 27, 2025. These transactions were related to the company's Long-Term Compensation Plan and represent routine equity compensation activity for the executive.

Form 4 snapshot

On 06/25/2025, Kohl's Corporation (KSS) director Adolfo Villagomez filed a Form 4 reporting the acquisition of 276 shares of common stock. The shares were granted as additional restricted stock in lieu of the Company’s $0.125 per-share dividend paid on the same date. The filing specifies that the new shares vest on the same schedule as the director’s existing restricted-stock awards.

After this dividend-equivalent grant, Villagomez directly owns 30,034 Kohl's shares, of which 18,155 remain unvested. No shares were sold, and no derivative securities were exercised or disposed of. The transaction code “A” confirms the shares were acquired and not purchased on the open market, and no price was indicated.

The report contains no other transactions, amendments or derivative positions. The incremental increase is modest in absolute terms but demonstrates continued insider equity alignment with shareholders.

Form 4 filing overview: On 06/25/2025, Kohl’s Corp. (KSS) director John E. Schlifske received 656 shares of common stock as a dividend-equivalent award tied to the company’s $0.125 per-share dividend paid the same day. The transaction is coded “A” (acquisition) and carries no stated purchase price, indicating the shares were granted—rather than bought—under the existing restricted-stock plan.

After the award, Schlifske’s beneficial ownership rises to 106,758 shares, of which 43,196 remain unvested. No derivative securities were involved and no shares were sold. The grant follows the vesting schedule of the underlying restricted stock, leaving overall dilution and cash impact to Kohl’s immaterial. Nevertheless, the increment marginally strengthens insider alignment with shareholders.
