ITEM 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

(e) Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

In late 2020, Kenneth Worzel (the “Executive”) elected to defer into the Nordstrom, Inc. (the “Company”) Deferred Compensation Plan (the “DCP”) twenty percent of any bonus that would be payable to him by the Company in connection with the following fiscal year. As a result of an inadvertent and unintentional administrative error (the “Error”), the Company failed to defer any portion of the Executive’s bonus for that year into the DCP. Because of the Error, the Executive was required to repay the missed deferral into the DCP, plus interest, and also incurred a tax penalty under Internal Revenue Code Section 409A (“Section 409A”) and accountant fees. On May 21, 2024, in recognition that the Error was of no fault of the Executive, the Compensation, People and Culture Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved a one-time payment to the Executive in the amount of $150,000, which is intended to reimburse him, on an after-tax basis, for the tax penalty imposed under Section 409A and the associated accountant fees.
