T.J. Maxx is an off-price retailer offering a rapidly changing mix of high quality
merchandise of brand name and designer fashions. Approximately 1,200 stores
can be found in 49 states with unique selections at every location. It also
operates an e-commerce site, which was launched in 2013.

T.J. Maxx is one of the subsidiaries of The TJX Companies, Inc. (TJX), the
leading off-price retailer of apparel and home fashions in the United States
and worldwide. As of January 28, 2017, TJX sales were $33.2 billion, and the
company operated more than 3,800 stores in nine countries, across three
continents with roughly 235,000 associates. TJX is currently ranked #87 in
the Fortune 500 listings and, in April 2017, it marked its 21st consecutive year
of dividend increases. TJXs success contrasts to several other retailers who
are struggling to entice shoppers as a growing number of consumers do their
buying on Amazon and other e-commerce sites. This change in the American
retail market has allowed TJX to purchase goods at liquidated or bargained
prices, keeping the companys costs low and giving them a competitive
advantage against many of the larger brands.

TJX upholds an A2/Prime-1 rating from Moodys Investors Service, which reflects
Moody's view that off-price retail is a strongly positioned sector of retailing
which is expected to continue to gain market share. The company also has an
"A+" S&P Global credit rating, one of the strongest ratings recently seen in the
retail industry, and ample financial liquidity, which offers its vendors, landlords
and other business associates a high degree of confidence.
