(1) Assumes conversion of all of the holder's LYONs at
a conversion rate of 7.156 shares of common stock
per $1,000 principal amount at maturity of the
LYONs. However, this conversion rate will be
subject to adjustment as described under
"Description of LYONs - Conversion Rights." As a
result, the amount of common stock issuable upon
conversion of the LYONs may increase or decrease in
the future.
(2) Calculated based on Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i) of the
Exchange Act using 329,669,427 shares of common
stock outstanding as of May 26, 2000. In
calculating this amount, we treated as outstanding
that number of shares of common stock issuable upon
conversion of all of that particular holder's LYONs.
However, we did not assume the conversion of any
other holder's LYONs.
(5) Merrill Lynch Pierce Fenner & Smith Inc. was the
initial purchaser of the LYONs issued in a private
placement by Kohl's in June 2000 and from time to time
may act in a financial investment advisory capacity to
Kohl's.
(6) Total principal amount of selling securityholders
listed is more than $551,450,000 because certain of
the selling securityholders may have transferred
LYONs pursuant to Rule 144A or otherwise reduced
their position prior to selling pursuant to this
Registration Statement. The maximum principal
amount of LYONs that may be sold under this
prospectus will not exceed $551,450,000.
(7) As of the date of this supplement, $6,587,000 of
the $16,087,000 principal amount has been sold.
