| 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 6, 2023 (the “Prior Report”), relating to compensatory arrangements of the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and the Named Executive Officers as set forth in the Company’s proxy statement dated April 7, 2022 (the “Executives”). As referenced in the Prior Filing, the Compensation, People and Culture Committee of the Board of Directors awarded stock options (“Options”) and performance share units (“PSUs”) to the Executives on March 1, 2023, with an effective date of March 6, 2023. The number of Options and PSUs awarded to each Executive was to be determined pursuant to established formulae, but at the time of the Prior Report not all inputs for those formulae were available. For that reason, the number of Options and PSUs actually awarded was indeterminable at the time of the Prior Report. This amended Current Report on Form 8-K/A is being filed to update the Prior Report and provide this information. |
