Amendment Description	This amended Current Report on Form 8-K/A amends Item 5.02 of the Current Report on Form 8-K, filed by Nordstrom, Inc. (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 1, 2021 (the “8-K”), relating to compensatory arrangements of the Company’s five Named Executive Officers (the “NEOs”) as set forth in the Company’s proxy statement dated April 7, 2020. As referenced in the original filing, the number of stock options (“Options”) and Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) to be awarded to the NEOs were to be determined pursuant to established formulae, but at the time of the filing of the Current Report on Form 8-K not all inputs for those formulae were available. For that reason, the number of Options and RSUs actually awarded was indeterminable at the time of the prior filing. This amended Current Report on Form 8-K/A is being filed to update the prior filing and provide this information.
