LETTER FROM TJX’S PRESIDENT AND CEO

October 11, 2007

To Our Valued Customers:

At TJX, our first priority always has been and continues to be, our customers. I want each of you to know how much I personally and, on behalf of the Company, regret any difficulties you may have experienced as a result of the criminal attacks on our computer systems announced earlier this year. Importantly, we truly appreciate that you have continued to place your trust in us with your loyalty and patronage.

We remain committed to providing our customers a safe shopping environment as you shop for great values, fashion and brands. TJX has been working diligently with some of the world’s best computer security firms to further enhance our computer security. We have also continued to work with law enforcement and government agencies and very much want to see that the sophisticated cyber criminals who attacked our computer systems are brought to justice.

We have worked diligently to reach a settlement, which we believe would offer an excellent resolution for our customers, addressing the different ways that they have told us that they have been impacted by the computer intrusion(s). (Like all class action settlements, our settlement is subject to Court approval and other conditions, and therefore, customers cannot yet seek benefits.) We have provided a separate link, below, to additional information regarding the proposed settlement.

To learn more about steps you can take to protect your credit and debit card information, I encourage you to access the information we are providing on this website or to contact our special customer helplines listed below.

Once again, we sincerely regret any inconvenience you may have experienced as a result of the attacks on our computer system. We are deeply grateful for your continued trust and patronage.

Respectfully,
Carol Meyrowitz
President and Chief Executive Officer
