Our first priority was the right thing, including responsible

governance

MAY 7, 2019
The Power of PVH – the incredible makeuphealth and wellbeing of our organization, encompassing our iconic brands, our talented teamsassociates, consumers, business partners and our wide range of global growth opportunities – was fully on display in 2018. We leveraged our diversified business model to grow revenues by 8% to a record $9.7 billion and to achieve GAAP earnings per share of  $9.65, representing 41% growth year-over-year (EPS on a non-GAAP basis of  $9.60*, representing 21% growth year-over-year). Our results significantly exceeded our initial expectations.
We live by the belief that success is not defined only by our bottom line. We are proud of our efforts to protect the environment and the rights of the over one million workers in our supply chain, and to enrich the lives of the people and communities where we liveoperate. In this context and work. based on local regulations and protocols we developed based on the advice of medical authorities in the jurisdictions where we operate, we temporarily closed virtually all our offices and stores, implemented new safety and social distancing measures where facilities were open, and enhanced our customer service policies to recognize the limitations on in-person shopping.

We maintained a strong focus on liquidity to ensure that we were well-positioned to meet our business needs. This included suspending our share repurchase program and cash dividend, raising additional capital to fortify further our already strong financial and liquidity position, and reducing our capital expenditures. The Board and leadership made some challenging decisions relating to our compensation and payroll, our global workforce and our Heritage Brands Retail business. However, we believe they were critical in managing through the impacts of the pandemic and ensuring PVH came out of it strong and well-positioned for our next chapter of growth. 

“ Our efforts to address the impact of the pandemic on us and our business did not hinder our other commitments. We maintained a critical focus on our governance, brought on and promoted talent to lead our growth strategy, and advanced our commitment to inclusion and diversity strengthensdiversity.”

iv  |   PVH CORP. 2021 PROXY STATEMENT

 

Our leadership teams also proactively pivoted our organization.businesses to align with the acceleration of our consumers’ evolving shopping preferences. We have pledgedaccelerated our digital agenda and drove strong revenue growth and improved profitability in the channel, focused on our in-favor comfort and casual product assortments, and drove a strong recovery in our international businesses as they reopened. In reallocating resources towards these areas, we were able to promotegain market share and position our international businesses to come out of the pandemic in a stronger position. 

Our efforts to address the impact of the pandemic on us and our business did not hinder our other commitments. We maintained a critical focus on our governance, brought on and promoted talent to lead our growth strategy, and advanced our commitment to inclusion and diversitydiversity. We also continued to make progress towards our Forward Fashion targets — our strategy to reduce negative impacts to zero, increase positive impacts to 100%, and improve the over one million lives throughout our value chain. The actions we are taking to move our business and the industry forward toward a more innovative and responsible future. Key actions included: 

We successfully executed our CEO transition. Our succession plan was well-communicated in advance and was well-received by our stakeholders.

We appointed Allison Peterson, Chief Customer Officer of Best Buy Co., Inc., and George Cheeks, President and CEO of CBS Entertainment Group, as directors of PVH. We believe that their deep experience in successfully navigating consumer disruption and effectively driving consumer connections will be beneficial for PVH and the management team, as we seek to drive an accelerated recovery post-pandemic and deliver our next chapter of growth.

We hired our first-ever Chief Diversity Officer, expanded our Inclusion and Diversity Team, and updated our talent acquisition practices to focus on increasing representation and support for our Black associates to achieve success in leadership and across the company.

We added key leadership talent, including a Chief Executive Officer, PVH Americas (new role); Chief People Officer (Chief Human Resources Officer retired); Chief Executive Officer, PVH Asia-Pacific (leadership change); and chief brand, marketing, design and merchandising executives at both Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger (new roles or filled vacancies).

We endorsed the International Labour Organization’s (ILO) Call to Action, which we developed with key peers and partners, to protect garment workers during the pandemic.

We sourced personal protective equipment and donated basic apparel for frontline healthcare workers, as well as gave more than $2 million toward COVID-19 relief efforts.

We commend the hard work and critical actions of the Board and our leadership team to address the challenges of the pandemic. We also are proud of how our teams across PVH rose to the occasion to manage us through this environment and moved us closer to where the consumer is going and started to position us well to win in our company and outside, among our suppliers and other business partners and in our industry generally. Lastly,the “new normal” over the coming years. As we continue to leverage the power of PVH, we believe our dedicationwe will be able to associate engagement and development, and our promotion of our values of individuality, partnership, passion, integrity and accountability, define our culture and make PVH a truly unique organization.

Our commitmentdeliver sustainable growth to doing the right thing has, with little fanfare, also historically extendedincrease stockholder value, while adhering to governance. We moved to annual election of directors from a classified structure in the mid-1990s, well before it became a standard practice. Our Audit & Risk Management Committee has a long record of independence and rigorous oversight that pre-dates the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requirements by decades. Our proxy statements have been cited from time to time for robust and transparent disclosures.
2018 is no exception to this history. The most obvious change is the document you are reading now. We made the commitment to – and have now executed – a major re-write of our Proxy Statement. We hope you find it easier to read and understand, not to mention more attractive and consistent with the PVH brand. More importantly, we hope you find the expanded disclosure and increased use of graphics more informative. We are pleased with the results and hope you are as well.
When you read the Proxy Statement, you will see some new concrete measures we took to enhance our governance in 2018. We adopted proxy access – without ever having received any inquiry or request to do so – and we are putting forward, on our own, two amendments to our certificate of incorporation to eliminate supermajority voting provisions. We believe it is not good governance to have supermajority voting requirements. Approval of each of the proposed amendments requires an affirmative vote of at least 80% of our principles and operating in a way that drives fashion forward for good. 

Sincerely,

What To Look For 

We continue to focus on good governance and strive for transparency. The design of this Proxy Statement should make evident:

the efforts in 2020 to navigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly the difficult decisions made by the Compensation Committee and full Board to reduce Board and executive compensation, while continuing to incentivize performance;

the successful execution of the Board’s CEO succession plan; and

our continuing efforts to live our values, practice good governance, attract, develop and retain diverse talent, and act as good corporate citizens.

PVH CORP. 2021 PROXY STATEMENT   |   1

What’s new?
We have reorganized and redesigned our Proxy Statement. It features new and expanded disclosures, as well as improved graphics. This was intended to improve transparency, readability and comprehension. Perhaps more significantly, even though we already had strong corporate governance practices, we took measures to improve them further. In April 2019, our Board adopted proxy access, without having ever been approached by an investor to do so. Please see page 18. In addition, we are asking stockholders to approve at the Annual Meeting two amendments to our Certificate of Incorporation to eliminate supermajority requirements for certain transactions with certain stockholders and for stockholders to approve amendments of our By-Laws.

2020 BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS 

2020 will be remembered as one of the most challenging years in history from a geopolitical, economic and public health perspective due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Our teams not only came together to navigate the crisis successfully, we also positioned PVH demonstratedto emerge stronger.

INDEPENDENCE

The Board of Directors has evaluated the independence of each of the directors and nominees for director in relation to the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). The independence inquiry included the additional criteria for service on the Audit & Risk Management Committee and the Compensation Committee for the directors who are members of those committees. The Board determined that Mr. Chirico as our only management director, isand Mr. Larsson, who are employed by us, are not independent, and that each of our other current directors is independent.

In making these independence determinations, the Board of Directors considers whether a director has or had a relationship with PVH that would disqualify the individual under applicable regulation from being considered independent under applicable regulations, that would be disclosable under applicable regulation,regulations, or that might otherwise be deemed material to the director, the director’s family or PVH.PVH, including whether there are any employment or consulting arrangements between any such individual and third parties that provide services to us. None of the directors, other than Mr. Chirico and Mr. Larsson, has a material relationship with PVH, either directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with PVH, nor does any other director have a direct or indirect material interest in any transaction involving PVH.

The Board of Directors did consider that PVH employsPVH’s employment of Ms. Baglivo’s daughter when making its independence decision with respect to her.decision. Ms. Baglivo’s daughter was a full time associate until August 2020, as well as a full-time temporary associate for approximately one month in 2021. In concluding that Ms. Baglivo is independent, the Board noted that her daughter’s annual compensation, iseven on an annualized basis, was well below the threshold of $120,000 that would require disclosure under applicable SECSecurities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules.

No family relationship exists between any director or executive officer of PVH with any other director or executive officer.

Leadership Structure of the Board
Our

LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE OF THE BOARD

Mr. Chirico, our former Chief Executive Officer, currently serves as Chairman of the Board of Directors. The Board believes that no single leadership model is necessarily best for PVH and that the decision whether to combine or separate the offices of Chief Executive Officer and Chairmanhave an independent Chair should depend on the circumstances. Right now, the Board believes that combining these two roleshaving Mr. Chirico continue to lead the Board after stepping down as Chief Executive Officer is the most effective leadership structure for us. Mr. Chirico’s combined role has promoted unified leadership and direction for the Board as it brings on new directors and executive management, and has allowed for a single, clear focus fortransitions to Mr. Larsson’s leadership of the chain of command to execute our strategic initiatives and business plans.company. Mr. Chirico’s extensive knowledge of and tenure at PVH makes him uniquely qualified for this leadershipthe Chair role.

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that, if the Chief Executive Officer (or other associate) serves as Chairman,Chair, or the Chair otherwise is not independent, the independent directors must elect an independent director to serve as presiding director. The Nominating, Governance & Management Development Committee is responsible for nominating the director to serve in such role.

Mr. Nasella has been our presiding director since 2007. The duties of the presiding director include:

LEADING all meetings of the Board at which the Chair is not present, including executive sessions of the independent directors;

SERVING as the non-management directors’ liaison between both the Chair and the Chief Executive Officer;

GUIDING the annual review of the Chief Executive Officer’s performance and compensation;

The Board of Directors

oversees the management of risks related to the operation of our business. As part of its oversight, the Board receives periodic reports from members of senior management on various aspects of risk, including our enterprise risk management program, business continuity planning and cybersecurity. Each Board committee oversees the management of risks that fall within its area of responsibility. In performing this function, each committee has full access to management, as well as the authority to engage advisors. Committee Chairpersons report on their Committee’scommittee’s activities, including agenda items relating to risk, at each Board meeting following a Committeecommittee meeting, and can raise risk issues with the full Board at that time. The Board and each of its committees has met with, received reports from, and worked together with management as we navigate our company and businesses through the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on us and our stakeholders, and seek to mitigate these impacts through business, operational, financial and human capital management initiatives.

THE AUDIT

COMMITTEE

The Audit & Risk
Management
Committee

has principal responsibility for risk assessment and risk management. As part of this role, the Audit & Risk Management Committee:


monitors the operation of our enterprise risk management program;


receives an annual enterprise risk management report, in which management identifies our most significant operating risks and the mitigating factors that exist to control those risks, based on the results of an annual, in-depth exercise in which a broad spectrum of associates and executives from key areas and all regions work with an outside expert to identify relevant areas of risks and mitigating factors;


receives quarterly reports on the status of our network security framework, the status of information security initiatives and any new security incidents risks, and strategies implemented to address them;

◾  

receives reports at its in-personall meetings (other than the quarterly calls to review earnings releases and periodic reports) on our cybersecurity and data privacy efforts, including an annual in-depth review of strategy and initiatives for the coming year, presented by our Senior Vice President, Information Security;


Security Services (“ISS”) or Chief Information Officer;

◾ 

receives reports on risks and developments relating to our IT systems upgrades, financial reporting, security issues, insurance, legal matters, compliance training and reporting, and other areas of risk and risk management; and


meets privately on a regular basis with representatives of our independent auditors to discuss our auditing and accounting processes and management.

THE

COMPENSATION

COMMITTEE

The Compensation Committee

considers as part of its oversight of our executive compensation program whether the incentive awards it administers are properly aligned with stockholder value creation, corporate objectives, and our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

As part of this role, the Compensation Committee:

receives an annual risk assessment from its compensation consultant that analyzes the risks represented by each component of the program, as well as mitigating factors; and


◾ 

develops policies, such as our Clawback Policy, to mitigate potential risks.

The Compensation Committee also has performed in 2018 an extensive analysis of incentive compensation arrangements throughout the company to ensure they do not create excessive or unwanted risk. The review was initiated in light of certain news reports over the year involving poor pay practices at other companies. When the review was completed, the Compensation Committee determined that our incentive compensation programs are appropriate and do not encourage excessive risk. In addition, the Committee adopted a Clawback Policy to provide for the recoupment of incentive compensation from certain current and former executives for material violations of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics policy and other material policies. The Clawback Policy extended the existing recoupment provisions of our incentive compensation plans, which had covered a more limited set of executives and only related to certain restatements of our financial statements.

Evaluating current Board composition

The Nominating, Governance & Management Development Committee initiatedfollows a formal, ongoing process for director succession and is actively engaged in 2016. a refreshment process for a number of reasons, including the fact that several directors are at or approaching mandatory retirement age. Our refreshment process is designed to ensure we have the full breadth and depth of experience on the Board that is needed to effectively perform the Board’s responsibilities. Our addition of five new directors in the past five years evidences the success of this process;

The refreshment process hadhas several goals:

identifying qualities and skills needed for service on our Board;

identifying the qualities and skills each current director possesses;

assessing how the current directors deploy their qualities and skills for the benefit of PVH;


determining whether any additional skill sets or other attributes are necessary to fill gaps in the current Board;

establishing a succession strategy and executing against the strategy, including planning well in advance of upcoming mandatory retirements; and

performing on-boarding and transitioning for new directors.

The Nominating, Governance & Management Development Committee uses a skills matrix to assess the strengths and needs of the Board in relation to our current business strategy, expected future strategic needs, and the current state of our industry. The matrix incorporates areas of operating and industry experience that Committee members have determined should be represented on our Board. Using directors’ self-assessments and assessments from the other directors and management, including our Executive Vice President, Global Talent Management, the Committee populates the matrix, showing the extent to which each current director has the desired qualities and skills.

The Nominating, Governance & Management Development Committee reviews the skills matrix, along with individual director demographics, tenure and committee memberships, and considers our total Board composition and demographics compared to our peers, to determine whether we need to add a directordirectors with specific qualities or skills. The Committee believes our Board of Directors is most effective when its members represent a mix of the attributes, skills and experience shown below.

Identifying potential new directors

In evaluating potential new directors, the Nominating, Governance & Management Development Committee will consider the needs identified by our formal review process and the resulting skills matrix, and also may consider factors such as each candidate’s professional experience; business, charitable or educational background; performance in current position; reputation; age; and service on other boards of directors. Potential candidates have been identified at various times by members of the Board, by a third-party search and recruiting firm retained for that purpose (as was the case with Ms. Peterson and Mr. Cheeks), and by senior executives.

The Nominating, Governance & Management Development Committee will consider a nominee recommended by a stockholder if the recommendation is made in writing and includes (i) the qualifications of the proposed nominee to serve on the Board, (ii) the principal occupations and employment of the proposed nominee during the past five years, (iii) each directorship currently held by the proposed nominee, and (iv) a statement that the proposed nominee has consented to the nomination. The recommendation should be addressed to our Secretary. The expectation is that candidates recommended by stockholders would be evaluated in a similar manner assubstantially the same way we evaluate candidates identified by the Committee.

Diversity

The Nominating, Governance & Management Development Committee considers the diversity of the Board and potential candidates in selecting new directors, and, in connection with the current Board refreshment program, has instructed search and recruiting firms to include female and diverse candidates in all pools that they present, but does not have a specific policy in that regard. In practice, the Committee reviews whether a candidate would contribute to the diversity of skills, abilities, and experiences represented in our skills matrix, as well as the candidate’s race, ethnicity and gender. We are proud of the diversity of backgrounds that characterize our current Board of Directors, including that more than one-third of our nominees for director are women or underrepresented minorities, and believe that our diversity provides significant benefits to PVH.

Proxy access

We amended our By-Laws in April 2019 to adopt a proxy access provision. This provision allows stockholders to nominate director candidates for election to our Board, and for those director candidates to be included in our proxy materials. Under our proxy access by-law, a group of up to 20 stockholders that collectively has owned at least 3% of our common stock for at least three years may nominate director candidates constituting up to the lesser of two directors and 20% of our Board, subject to certain informational and procedural requirements.

The Nominating, Governance & Management Development Committee evaluated a number of different factors and potential formulations in adopting our proxy access by-law before recommending it to the Board for approval. We believe the version we adopted provides stockholders with meaningful participation in the director nomination process, while also imposing reasonable thresholds to avoid unnecessary administrative costs and to ensure the nominating stockholders have an appropriate and genuine interest in PVH and its governance.

Diversity
The Nominating, Governance & Management Development Committee considers the diversity of the Board and potential candidates in selecting new directors but does not have a specific policy in that regard. In practice, the Committee reviews whether a candidate would contribute to the diversity of skills, abilities, and experiences represented in our skills matrix, as well as the candidate’s race, ethnicity and gender. We are proud of the diversity of backgrounds that characterize our current Board of Directors, including that one-third of our directors are women, and believe that our diversity provides significant benefits to PVH.

Mandatory retirement

Directors cannot be nominated for re-election if they will be 72 on the date of the applicable annual meeting, absent a waiver by the Nominating, Governance & Management Development Committee and the full Board. The Board has granted a waiver to Mr. Nasella due to his continued strong leadership, performance, and contributions to the Board and the committees on which he sits. The Board believes that imposing a mandatory retirement age is an effective way to ensure director refreshment. To that end, two of the directors who have joined the Board in recent years were nominated in anticipation of then upcoming retirements, which have now occurred.

Director On-Boarding
DIRECTOR ON-BOARDING

We conduct a comprehensive on-boarding process for new directors. We believe a wide-ranging orientation is important in positioning new directors for success. The process includes pairing aeach new director with a seasoned member of the Board who serves as a peer mentor for the first three to six months. In addition, new directors participate in a corporate, business and financial orientation program that involves substantive individual meetings with senior executives. For example, the Chief Executive Officer will brief new directors on current business and strategy; the Chief Operating & Financial Officer will speak about our financial performance; the Treasurer and SeniorExecutive Vice President, Business Development andChief Strategy Officer, who leads our Investor Relations team, will discuss our capital structure, the stockholder base and investor relations; the General Counsel will discuss corporate governance, periodic reporting and stock-related matters; and the Chief Human ResourcesPeople Officer will report on human resources strategies, key talent and succession planning. In addition, senior executives in our Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein and Heritage Brands businesses provide an overview of their respective businesses. The orientation also includes an introductory session with the Chair or members of the Board committee on which the new director will sit, and may also include executives and outside advisors who work with that committee. SEC filings and other information are provided as a background resource. We endeavor to have all new directors visit our European headquarters in Amsterdam within their first year of service.

Ongoing Director Education

ONGOING DIRECTOR EDUCATION

We have created a website for directors that is part of our PVH University learning management system.platform. The site provides directors with access to information on director educational conferences and programs, our PVH Complies compliance training courses, and the extensive library of courses we offer to our associates. The site identifies programs, conferences and classes recommended by other directors and our Talent Development Team.

We encourage directors to pursue educational opportunities to enable them to better perform their duties and to learn about emerging issues. In addition, weMoreover, our Corporate Governance Guidelines strongly encourage directors to attend at least one external director education program per year. We provide access to educational materials and resources, including subscriptions to outside publications relevant to governance and our industry, and membership in governance organizations. We do not limit the amount of time or money that can be spent on director education, although we do evaluate the courses and conferences to make certain that the subject matter is appropriate for the director and their role. Directors are allowed to determine the amount of education they deem appropriate. However, our Corporate Governance Guidelines strongly encourage directors to attend at least one external director education program per year.

The Nominating, Governance & Management Development Committee may request that directors seek out particular education programs or that the Board receive presentations based on results from the Board questionnaires and individual director self-assessments.

We often incorporate travel to PVH facilities and facilities operated by business partners to educate directors on our global operations, as well as matters related to the committees on which they serve. For example, the entire Board traveled in 20182019 to Hong Kong, ShanghaiAmsterdam, where our European headquarters is based, and TokyoDusseldorf, the headquarters for the largest business in Europe. The meetings there enabled the Board to visitmeet with key members of management in those offices, to meet the country managers of each European office, and to tour our offices and certain key retail operations there, and membersoperations. Trips of the Corporate Responsibility Committee have traveledthis nature were impossible for most of 2020, but we aspire to see factories where our goods are produced.

Management Succession Planning

MANAGEMENT SUCCESSION PLANNING

The Nominating, Governance & Management Development Committee has implemented a detailed plan regarding succession planning. Succession plans for the Chief Executive Officer and the senior management team are updatedreviewed at least annually and theupdated as necessary. The Committee presents a status report on succession plans annually to the full Board. The succession-planning process includes both identifying and developing plans for promising internal candidates and, with respect to CEO succession, identifying external candidates. The plan includes mid-term and long-term solutions and arrangements in the event an emergency arises.

This process most recently culminated in the hiring in 2019 of Mr. Larsson in the newly created position of President. Mr. Larsson has since assumed the role of Chief Executive Officer and joined the Board.

Board meetings typically cover four categories of business, as described below.

Corporate governance matters.These discussions include approval of minutes and dividends, committee reports, and the review of Board and committee charters, Board policies, and Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)SEC filings.

Standing agenda items.These discussions address matters such as business and financial updates, budget review and approval, corporate strategy and strategic opportunities/alternatives, capital structure, and updates on enterprise risk management, corporate responsibility and other programs.

Topical issues.The Board receives presentations on and, as appropriate, considers, matters such as competitive and industry developments, advertising and marketing campaigns, regulatory updates, capital programs, and initiatives like speed-to-market, Africa sourcing and organizational restructurings.

Transaction-related discussions and approvals.The Board discusses issues such as financings, acquisitions and joint ventures when they arise.

To ensure that the Board is fully informed about issues under discussion, meetings often include presentations by our corporate officers, senior executives or internal subject matter experts, and outside advisors and consultants. One meeting each year typically is convened offsite for several days to give directors an opportunity to consider and discuss at length matters such as strategy, opportunities, business strengths and weaknesses, and competitive threats. The offsiteThis meeting also provides the directors with exposure to and the opportunity to interact with a large contingent of executives from the global management team. These interactions help the Board assess the talent pool globally.

Executive Sessions
We did not hold this meeting in 2020 due to the pandemic.

EXECUTIVE SESSIONS

Each Board meeting begins in an executive session of all of the directors (along with the corporate Secretary)secretary). This session includes an overview of the agenda by the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and a preview of some of the key issues confronting management. In addition, the executive session gives directors an opportunity to prepare possible lines of questioning for management and outside advisors and enables the Board to discuss issues that they do not want to raise with the rest of management present. On occasion, other members of management other than the CEO and the corporate secretary will be invited to participate with respect to discrete items.

Our independent directors also meet at the end of each regular meeting (and other times) in executive session to discuss Board presentations, management performance, and the performance of our Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Nasella, our presiding director, leads these executive sessions.

CEO Evaluation

EVALUATION

Mr. Nasella meets with our Chief Executive Officer at least annually to discuss the Board’s feedback on the CEO’s performance and areas for improvement. The feedback is elicited through a written performance evaluation completed by each director that solicits both quantitative and qualitative responses regarding five key areas of performance: Leadership and People; Strategic Planning; Financial Results; External Relations; and Board Relations.

VALUES, GOVERNANCE, HUMAN CAPITAL RESOURCES AND CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY

Throughout our 140 year history, we have been passionate about doing the right thing. Our values — individuality, partnership, passion, integrity and accountability — define who we are as a company and we encourage our associates to embody them every day.

As a purpose-led company, we strive to deliver success for all of our stakeholders — from our stockholders to our business partners and the communities and consumers that we serve every day.

Upholding Our Values

Our commitment to our stockholders goes beyond taking responsible actions to increase stockholder value. We are proud that our efforts in regards to business conduct, inclusivity, human capital and sustainability have resulted in PVH being recognized publicly in a variety of ways. In 2020, we appeared on Fortune magazine’s lists of “100 Best Workplaces for Diversity” and “The World’s Most Admired Companies” (having also appeared in 2019) and, earned a perfect score in the Human Rights Campaign’s (HRC) Corporate Equality Index for the third straight year, in addition to being ranked #19 on Barron’s list of “100 Most Sustainable Companies in America” (our third straight year on the list) and being re-certified as a Great Place to Work in the U.S.

Integrity and accountability are pillars in our conduct of business. We maintain a whistleblower reporting system with online and telephone reporting options. The system is operated by an independent third party. There are reporting options available to our associates, workers at our suppliers’ factories, talent used in our marketing shoots, and employees of our joint ventures. The associate option, which supplements internal reporting options, is available in 15 languages and allows for reporting on an anonymous basis (except when prohibited by law). We have a strict non-retaliation policy to protect associates who report suspected misconduct in good faith, as well as those who cooperate in any investigation.

Governance

We are committed to excellence in corporate governance, regularly reviewing our practices and considering adopting new, and changing existing, governance practices as practices evolve. We moved from a classified Board to annual elections well before it was a common practice and our Audit & Risk Management Committee has had a decades’ long commitment to independence and meticulous oversight. We recently completed a CEO transition that was part of a rigorous, multi-year succession planning process in which we considered both internal and external candidates, which went into its final phases with the hiring of an external candidate and his

These actions are viewed as best governance practices.

Human Capital Resources

We believe that attracting, developing and retaining diverse talent is critical to our long-term success. To facilitate talent attraction and retention, we strive to create a strong associate experience and a diverse and inclusive workplace, with opportunities for our associates to grow and develop in their careers, supported by competitive compensation, benefits and health and wellness programs, and by programs that build connections between our associates and their communities.

Inclusion and Diversity

We seek to cultivate an environment of inclusion, belonging and equity for all to build a better workplace, drive innovation in the marketplace and create positive impacts in our communities. We believe we benefit from the unique strengths that each of our associates brings to the workplace, and that a diverse workforce is critical to our long-term success. We strive to improve continuously and make PVH an inclusive work environment through diversity recruitment, development programs, and equitable policies and initiatives. One example is our business resource groups, which are associate-initiated and associate-led groups that foster an inclusive culture and are intended to contribute to the overall success of the business. These groups, which are dedicated to bringing associates together to increase professional and social networks, enhance career development and business acumen, and contribute

Talent Management and Development

Our talent management and development processes support associate performance and development, talent reviews and succession planning. We regularly review succession plans and conduct assessments to identify talent needs and growth paths for our associates.

Developing our associates is a key strategic priority for us, with the focus on developing leaders and preparing the workforce for the future. PVH University, our global internal learning and development program, provides tools and learning opportunities that empower associates to build core competencies and develop skills necessary for improvement and advancement through engaging and impactful learning content. PVH University programs include, among other things, academies for leadership and a Leaders as Teachers program in which our associates instruct on topics in their area of expertise. The PVH University library and curriculum includes its digital academy to build enterprise digital and data literacy, as well as to support digital transformation initiatives. Additionally, our approach to performance and development is designed to motivate our associates to develop, leverage our associate’s strengths and support a coaching and feedback culture, while supporting our talent and succession planning efforts.

Corporate Responsibility

One of our most meaningful accomplishments was the launch in 2019 of our evolved corporate responsibility strategy: Forward Fashion, our vision for the future that provides a new level of ambition and transparency across our corporate responsibility

Through Forward Fashion, we aim to reduce our negative impacts to zero, increase positive impacts to 100%, and improve the over one million lives throughout our value chain. The fashion industry is changing and, at PVH, we recognize our responsibility and opportunity to drive fashion forward — for good.

Within these three strategic areas, we are focusing on a total of 15 priorities, each with a specific, measurable and timebound target. Forward Fashion represents a deepening of our commitment to action and a renewed sense of urgency to use our scale to transform ourselves and the industry.

Reduce negative impacts to zero

To drive fashion forward, we cannot stop at simply reducing our negative impacts; we must work to eliminate them. Our ambition is for our products and business operations to generate zero waste, zero carbon emissions and zero hazardous chemicals, and for our products to be addressedcircular.

We worked with Fashion for Good and other industry partners to test and explore adopting technologies and solutions to accelerate the development of circular products and sustainable materials, including new forms of material upcycling

We worked to create and endorse the ILO’s Call to Action to protect garment workers during the pandemic and establish long-term sustainable systems of social protection

We delivered more than six million units of PPE and, through The PVH Foundation, donated over $2 million toward COVID-19 relief efforts

Improve the 1M+ lives across our value chain

At PVH, we honor the fundamental role our collective workforce has in the success of our business. Our ambition is for our business to improve the lives of the over one million workers across our value chain, focusing on education and opportunities for women and children, ensuring access to clean water for all and continuing to champion inclusion and diversity so everyone can achieve their full potential.

2020 Highlights

We undertook several initiatives to advance representation of black, indigenous and people of color (“BIPOC”) within the fashion and creative industries, including through our partnership with the Council of Fashion Designers of America (“CFDA”) with whom we produced the State of Diversity, Equity

& Inclusion in Fashion report to facilitate next steps to foster a more representative and equitable industry

We continued to support factory workers through efforts like our continued implementation of Gap Inc.’s Personal Advancement Career Enhancement (“P.A.C.E.”) program, this time with the launch of a first-ever community program that benefits communities near Ethiopia’s Hawassa Industrial Park, where we have a joint venture shirt factory and some of our suppliers produce fabric and finished goods for us

We joined the UN Global Compact’s Target Gender Equality initiative to advance gender parity across PVH, our branded businesses, and our industry

POLITICAL AND LOBBYING ACTIVITIES

PVH does not contribute to political candidates, parties or causes. We do occasionally participate in lobbying activities, principally through our membership in industry associations. For example, we were involved in 2020 ongoing efforts not to have apparel and footwear imported into the U.S. from China subjected to additional tariffs. We believe that the additional tariffs are damaging to retail sales, will cause price increases and job losses, and are excessive given the already elevated level of tariffs on these imports as compared to other product categories. We also successfully sought to have the collection of the resulting duties that we pay delayed to help us and other companies navigate the COVID-19 crisis and apply the money to payroll to avoid further furloughs. Additionally, we were involved in lobbying efforts relating to the Board (or individual director) in care of the Secretary ofU.S. pandemic relief legislation.

Directorsexpenses in addition to receiving the compensation disclosed above.

Non-employee directors who join the Board after our annual meeting are paid a pro rata portion of the applicable fees for the year but do not receive an award of RSUs. Therefore, Allison Peterson, who joined the Board on January 26, 2021, and George Cheeks, who joined the Board on March 22, 2021, did not receive RSUs in 2020. We do not pay fees or make equity grants to non-employee directors who are designated for election by a stockholder having director nomination rights. We currently have no such directors.

Our non-employee directors receive very limitednominal benefits and perquisites. They are entitled to the same discounts at our retail stores as are available to all associates. In addition, we provide business accident travel insurance for directors and their spouses, which is at no additional cost to us because we maintain coverage for our associates globally. Finally, non-employee directors are eligible to participate at their own cost in our group umbrella insurance program, which may offer more favorable rates than they can obtain on their own.

Stock Ownership Guidelines

STOCK OWNERSHIP GUIDELINES

Our non-employee directors are required under our stock ownership guidelines to own shares of our common stock with an aggregate value equal to five times the standard annual cash retainer payable to directors. New directors have five years from the date they are elected to attain this ownership level. All of our non-employee directors, other than the two directors who have served onjoined the Board for five years or moreduring calendar year 2021, are currently in compliance with this requirement.requirement as of the date of this Proxy Statement. Our stock ownership guidelines require directors to hold 50% of the shares received upon the vesting of their equity awards (after payment of taxes) until they satisfy the guideline. There are no stock ownership guidelines for directors designated for election by a stockholder having director nomination rights, of which we currently have none.

PROPOSAL 2

Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation

We are asking stockholders to provide advisory approval of the compensation of our Named Executive Officers, as described in the Compensation Discussion & Analysis and Executive Compensation Tables sections that follow. While the results of this vote are non-binding, the Compensation Committee intends to consider carefully those results when making future compensation decisions.

The following is a summary of key points that stockholders may wish to consider in connection with their voting decision. We encourage you to review the entire Compensation Discussion and Analysis for detailed information on our executive compensation program.

Our compensation program emphasizes performance-based variable pay and equity performance to ensure a rigorous pay-for-performance culture.A significant majority (approximately 74%70% to 90% based on target level compensation) of each NEO’s compensation package consists of short-term and long-term awards that pay out only upon the achievement of specific financial targets, and equity awards that are linked to increases in stock price and stockholder value over time.

[MISSING IMAGE: ico_lgtick-white.gif]
The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR approval of the compensation paid to our Named Executive Officers.

 

Proxies received in response to this solicitation will be voted FOR this proposal unless the stockholder specifies otherwise.

Our performance targets are meaningful and are designed to encourage our executives to perform at high levels. We must achieve earnings per share that falls within the earnings per share guidance range that management provides to the financial market at the beginning of each fiscal yearIn order for bonuses to pay out bonuses at the target level, and business unit executiveswe must achieve earnings goals for their respective business units. In both cases, the goals aregenerally based on the annual budget reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors,Directors. Due to the temporary closure of virtually all of our stores, as well as those of our customers and franchisees, at the beginning of the pandemic, bonus awards were not made until most stores were reopened and the target levels typically are established aboveperformance goals were based on business plans reviewed with the prior year’s performance.

Board at the time.

Our compensation program reflects sound pay practices.


We generally do not provide our NEOs with any guarantees as to salary increases, bonuses, incentive plan awards or equity compensation.

Our perquisites are very modest and do not include tax reimbursements or “gross-ups” for severance payments.

We have adopted stock ownership guidelines (including holding requirements until ownership levels are achieved) for our NEOs that are intended to align their long-term interests with those of our stockholders and to encourage a long-term focus.

We have adopted stock ownership guidelines (including holding requirements until ownership levels are achieved) for our NEOs that are intended to align their long-term interests with those of our stockholders and to encourage a long-term focus.

Our total compensation packages are comparable to our peers.When we establish compensation packages each year, we compare the total compensation that each NEO can earn to compensation for the most comparable executives at the companies in our peer group. We confirm the accuracy of such comparisons by reviewing actual amounts paid or expected to be paid at the end of each year. The compensation package for our Chief Executive Officer, consistentConsistent with our emphasis on pay for performance, target compensation for our Chief Executive Officer and, to a lesser extent, target compensation for our other NEOs, is heavily weighted on long-term and performance-based elements. Compensation packages for our other NEOs are also heavily weighted on these elements, although not to the same degree as the CEO’s compensation package. In all cases, the weighting is consistent with those of their counterparts at our peers.

Our compensation program works as intended.We believe the information disclosed in this Proxy Statement, in particular the Compensation Discussion & Analysis and Executive Compensation Tables sections, demonstrates that our executive compensation program is well-designed, is working as intended, emphasizes pay for performance without encouraging undue risk, incorporates sound corporate governance practices, and foregoes elements that are considered poor pay practices.

The Board submits the following resolution to stockholders to indicate their non-binding advisory approval:

RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to PVH’s Named Executive Officers, as disclosed in this Proxy Statement pursuant to the rules of the SEC, including the Compensation Discussion & Analysis, compensation tables, and any related narrative discussion, is hereby APPROVED.

2020 PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS

2020 was one of the most challenging years in history on a global basis from a geopolitical, economic and public health perspective due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Our businesses, our compensation programpeople and our communities all were impacted in significant ways. Nevertheless, our teams rallied together to navigate the crisis and position PVH to emerge in a stronger position.

GRAPHIC

First, we prioritized the health and well-being of our associates, consumers, business partners and the communities where we operate. Virtually all our stores globally were closed for a significant portion of the first quarter of 2020, and we experienced additional temporary closures throughout the year (and continue to experience them in 2021) as local orders or our health protocols dictated. Our office locations have largely been closed throughout the pandemic, with only essential workers or, as restrictions relaxed, workers who needed to be in the office, allowed. Remote working continues to be the rule for the following individuals, whovast majority of our office-based associates. Our warehouse and distribution centers, which are key to driving the businesses that were operating — particularly our booming digital commerce businesses (direct, with traditional retail partners, and with pure play customers) — operated with reduced staffing and with health protocols in place.

Executive Summary
2018 Performance Highlights
Our 2018 results exceeded our plans and our long-term growth targets despite weaker than expected results in our Calvin Klein business, several department store bankruptcies and continued store closings, geopolitical pressures and a weakening macro-economic picture. We believe the abilitysignificant portion of our teams to over-deliver against our Board-approved financial plans against this backdrop demonstrates the “Power of PVH” — the combination of our iconic brands, our talented teamsU.S. retail store revenue), and the wide rangerestrictions on store operations as stores reopened, our 2020 revenues declined 28% to $7.1 billion and we had a loss per share of global growth opportunities$(15.96) (loss per share on a non-GAAP basis of $(1.97)*) compared to earnings per share of $5.60 ($9.54* on a non-GAAP basis) in front of us.
2019.

There were bright spots. We believe that significant opportunities for growth remain, as we continuesupercharged our digital business, including acting nimbly to execute on our strategic priorities with an emphasis on driving long-term stockholder value creation. We expect these priorities, which include global expansion, a focus on driving consumer experience, investing in our operating platforms,use inventories from closed stores and using our own warehouses to supplement the work of our third-party digital commerce fulfillment provider. These actions led to our strongest-ever digital sales growth of 43%, including 69% growth on our own sites, while driving a significant improvement in our profitability in the channel. Our Asia business was very strong, led by our performance in China. China emerged first from the pandemic and built upon 2019 performance with revenue through digital channels growing 55% and, when fully open, our European businesses drove high consumer and retailer demand and clear market share gains. We also focused on rightsizing our cost base and tightly managing our discretionary spending to offset the impact store closures and sales pressure around the world would have on 2020 profitability.

Another top priority was maintaining the health of our balance sheetsheet. We prudently managed inventories to ensure our financial flexibility, and we acted quickly and opportunistically to raise capital to ensure our sound financial position. We ended fiscal 2020 with over $3 billion in liquidity and $3.6 billion in debt. We entered 2021 in a clean inventory position (down 12% vs. 2019), despite the resurgence of infection rates and a new round of lockdowns during the all-important holiday sales period at the end of 2020. In the first quarter of 2021, we determined we had sufficient liquidity, and business and operations had become sufficiently settled to permit us to make voluntary payments totaling $500 million under our senior credit facilities and move towards returning to pre-pandemic leverage levels. Importantly, we also initiated measures to drive returns, will enable usan accelerated recovery, which remains the current focus throughout our businesses and regions.

2020 COMPENSATION HIGHLIGHTS

SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT THE COVID-19 CRISIS AND THE 2020 EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM
The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations in 2020, and continues to have an impact on 2021. We took and continue to take significant actions to mitigate the effects of the pandemic on PVH and to drive a strong, accelerated recovery plan.
Many of the actions taken in 2020 related to compensation and payroll, including temporary salary reductions for approximately 250 senior executives and leaders, furloughs in North America and Australia that lasted up to six months, reduced work hours (and proportionate pay) in North America that were in place for some associates up to nine months, salary reductions for virtually all associates in North America and Asia who were not furloughed or put on reduced hour schedules, and applying for governmental salary subsidies. Ultimately, we made workforce reductions in all regions. The following actions and decisions pertain to the compensation of our NEOs for 2020:
Mr. Chirico was not paid any salary from mid-April through mid-July.
The other NEOs each had a base salary reduction of 25-35% for three months.
There were no salary increases for 2020, other than for Mr. Hagman in connection with his promotion.
Annual bonus payout opportunities at each level of performance were set 50% lower than provided in each NEO’s standard compensation package.
Stock awards consisting of stock options, RSUs and PSUs were granted in two tranches. The first tranche was granted in April when annual grants typically are made but at grant date values much lower than 2019 values. The second tranche was granted in September. The combined value of the April and September grants of each type of award was equal to the standard annual grant value for all participants, including the NEOs.
Although our executive compensation program retained its overall structure, we did make significant adjustments in response to the impact of the pandemic, particularly with respect to salaries and bonuses of our NEOs. In addition to the actions and decisions discussed above:
Bonus measures were changed from EPS and, for NEOs who lead business units, business unit operating income to corporate and business unit EBITDA, each as adjusted for certain exclusions. This change was made because cash generation and reinforcing our financial position were particularly important at that time and in the near term, and EBITDA more accurately captures those goals.
We delayed our bonus goal-setting process to the second quarter. This allowed time for our stores to reopen after the initial round of temporary closures and for us to assess performance, as well as to assess the impact the pandemic was having on our business and might continue to have for the remainder of the year.
The threshold and maximum performance goals were set at significantly wider ranges above and below target performance than has been our typical practice. This addressed the extremely volatile and uncertain business environment. Threshold performance required us to “break even” for the nine-month measurement period, while the maximum goal required performance at the upper end of the business plans discussed with the Board at that time.

Philosophy and Approach

2020 Executive Compensation Program

PHILOSOPHY AND APPROACH

Our compensation program is a pay-for-performance model. We believe we should incentivize our executive officers to improve our financial performance, profitably grow our businesses, and increase stockholder value, and reward them only if they attain these objectives. To that end,The severe impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic required us to refocus our priorities. Instead, we focused on ensuring our financial stability and liquidity; protecting our business, including through accelerating the growth of our digital commerce businesses, exiting non-core and low profitability businesses, and positioning ourselves for growth as we emerge from the pandemic; and preserving stockholder value. Consistent with the foregoing, the Compensation Committee and management instituted actions to preserve cash by approving salary freezes and temporary reductions, reducing annual bonus payout opportunities by 50%, and granting annual equity awards in two tranches due to stock price volatility. The foregoing actions did not change our overall approach to compensation. The bulk of each Named Executive Officer’s compensation package consistscontinued to consist of short-term and long-term incentive awards that paypaid out only if we achieveachieved specific financial and strategic targets, and equity awards that arecontinued to be linked to increases in stock value over time. Our strategic targets includeperformance criteria included advancing our corporate responsibility commitments to our associates, the workers in our value chain, and the communities where we live and work, as we firmly believe these efforts help strengthen our organization and improve our performance by managing risk, maximizing efficiencies and driving value.

We also believe our compensation program should be competitive. An organization of our size and breadth can only operate effectively and profitably if it is managed by a team of talented executives and executives withwho have the right backgroundnecessary experience and skill sets are in demand.sets. To ensure that we can recruitattract, develop and retain the right people for PVH, when we establish compensation packages each year, we compare the total potential compensation that each Named Executive Officer can earn to the compensation awarded to the most comparable executives at the companies in our peer group. (For more information on the peer group, see “Peer Group,” which beginsGroup” on page 43.54.)

Our compensation program and plans have flexibility that permitsare flexible and permit the use of a variety of compensation elements and varying terms. The Compensation Committee reviews the program annually, keeping abreast of regulatory changes, following marketplace developments, and analyzing practices within our peer group. This effort is intended to ensure that our practices are consistent with stockholder interests and enable us to recruit, retain and motivate qualified associates.executives. In administering the program each year, the Compensation Committee determines what elements to use, the terms of all awards and, with respect to performance cycles concluded, the achievement ofextent to which financial goals were achieved and whether any payouts toshould be made.

SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT COMPENSATION FOR MR. GRIEDER
The compensation package for Mr. Grieder is somewhat different from the compensation paid to the other NEOs due to a number of factors, including his employment outside of the U.S. and his status as a non-U.S. taxpayer. Accordingly, not all of the discussion regarding our NEOs pertains to him. The principal differences relate to benefits (which are largely dictated by statute in Europe) and currency. Mr. Grieder’s cash compensation is paid in euros but is based on a base salary level tied to Swiss francs because he is a resident of Switzerland. The Swiss franc-to-euro exchange rate we use to determine salary payments to Mr. Grieder is reset quarterly. Historically, the construction of the compensation packages for our U.S.-based NEOs took into consideration the tax deductibility of performance-based compensation. This consideration was not relevant to Mr. Grieder’s compensation. As a result, there were some differences in the design of his compensation package. We have largely left the design of our U.S.-based NEO compensation packages intact even though the tax deduction for performance-based compensation has been eliminated (effective for compensation awarded beginning in 2018).

The compensation package for Mr. Hagman is somewhat different from the compensation paid to the other NEOs because he is employed outside of the U.S. The principal differences relate to benefits (which are largely dictated by statute in Europe) and currency. Accordingly, not all of the discussion regarding our NEOs pertains to him.

As discussed above, although our executive compensation program retained its overall structure in 2020, we did make significant adjustments in response to the impact of the pandemic on us and our stock, particularly with respect to salaries and bonuses. These adjustments included:

obtaining agreements from Mr. Chirico for a temporary salary forbearance and from all other NEOs for temporary salary reductions;
making no base salary increases (except for Mr. Hagman in connection with his promotion);
reducing bonus payout opportunities by 50%;
changing bonus performance measures to EBITDA (to incentivize cash generation);
delaying our bonus goal-setting process to the second quarter (to allow stores to reopen after the initial round of temporary
closures and assess performance, as well as to assess the impact the pandemic was having on our business and might continue to have for the remainder of the year);
establishing performance goals for bonuses in a wider range than is typical, but requiring “break even” performance at the threshold performance level and a stretch goal at the maximum performance level that exceeded our performance at the time the awards were made; and
making equity grants in two tranches to provide the NEOs and other participants with their standard grant values only after stock market volatility moderated.

awards, and the allocation among these elements. We do not prescribe a specific formula for the mix of pay elements other than to favor variable performance-based pay over fixed pay and long-term pay over short-term.

When setting the compensation packages for the NEOs, the Compensation Committee starts by looking at the median compensation for comparable executives within our peer group. (For more information, see “Peer Group,” which begins on page 43.54.) Then we consider both objective and subjective factors, such as:

job responsibility;
individual, business unit, and company performance;
potential for advancement;
tenure in role and with PVH;

internal pay equity;
pay history;
retention considerations; and
alignment with stockholder interests.

CD&A  Executive Compensation Overview

Authority to grant equity awards

The Compensation Committee has sole authority to grant equity awards to the NEOs. The Committee has annually delegated limited authority to our Chief Executive Officer to make equity awards to other PVH associates—associates (other than our Section 16 officers), principally in connection with promotions and new hires. Pursuant to this authority, the Chief Executive Officer may grant, on an annual basis, restricted stock units with an aggregate grant date value of $5 million and a maximum value in aone year to any one associate of $300,000. In addition, infor each of 2017 and 2018,through 2019, the Committee delegated limited authority to our Chief Executive Officer to make discretionary equityRSU awards to high-potential and high-performing executives below the senior executive level. Any awards made arewere in addition to an individual’s standard annual grant and subject to the parameters established by the Committee. For 2018, theseThese awards were not permitted to exceed $5 million in the aggregate and generally did not exceed 50% of the individual’s standard annual award. The Committee receivesreceived a report annually on the awards granted pursuant to these delegations of authority.

The Committee determined not to authorize the additional discretionary awards in 2020 due to the adverse impacts of the pandemic, volatility in the stock market and measures we took affecting our associate population (including ongoing furloughs and reduced work schedules).

Schedule for Compensation Committee meetings

The Compensation Committee generally makes decisions during the first quarter of each year about payouts of incentive plan awards for the recently completed fiscal year, and aboutas well as on base salaries, performance-based awards, and equity grants for the current fiscal year. (See “Timing of Equity Awards” on page 47.)57. In addition, the Committee uses theseits first quarter meetings to consider and approve any new incentive compensation plans or arrangements that require Board or stockholder approval.

The Compensation Committee’s other meetings during the year typically are focused on reviewing our compensation programs generally and discussing potential changes to the program,these programs, including to address corporate governance and regulatory developments. In addition, the Committee regularly reviews the types and mix of incentive awards included in our compensation

Addressing the pandemic, as well as other significant undertakings in the year, significantly disrupted the typical schedule. Ultimately, the Compensation Committee regularly reviewsheld 14 meetings in 2020 (as compared to six or seven in a typical year). The purposes of the types and mix of incentive awards included in our compensation program, the financial measures used in incentive awards, and alternative plans and financial measures.additional meetings included:

monitoring the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic;
determining and implementing a timely and appropriate compensation program consistent with both managing the financial health of the business and enabling a strong recovery;
making awards on the altered schedule discussed above;
establishing compensation and agreement terms related to the CEO transition and the hiring of other key executives; and
making determinations in connection with the resignation of Mr. Hagman’s predecessor and Mr. Hagman’s promotion.

Use of tally sheets

The Compensation Committee reviews tally sheets annually. Each NEO’s tally sheet covers prior year compensation and proposed compensation for the then-current year, including all elements of cash compensation, incentive compensation, perquisites, and benefits. Tally sheets also illustrate compensation opportunities and benefits and quantify payments and other value an executive would receive in various termination of employment scenarios, meaning they show full “walk away” values. As such, theyIn short, tally sheets enable the Compensation Committee to see and evaluate the full range of executive compensation; understand the magnitude of potential payouts as a resultin the event of retirement, change in control, and other events resulting in termination of employment; and consider changes to our compensation program, arrangements and plans in light of “best practices” and emerging trends.

Independent Compensation Consultant

The Compensation Committee has retained ClearBridge Compensation Group (“ClearBridge”) as its independent compensation consultant since 2009.

COMPENSATION DECISIONS FOR 2020

The pandemic had an unprecedented impact on everything in 2020. Trying to predict performance was impossible, year-over-year growth was unachievable, and the stock market was extremely volatile. Meanwhile, our leadership team was working under difficult conditions to protect the health of our associates, consumers, business partners and communities; accelerate the growth and profitability of our digital commerce businesses; right-size our cost base; manage discretionary spending; maintain our financial health and liquidity; enhance the brand position, products and consumer experience in each of our businesses; set PVH up for an accelerated post-pandemic recovery by focusing on distribution, our brands and our products to drive deeper connections with our consumers; and continue to advance plans with respect to our CEO transition and Board refreshment processes. Additionally, we were asking our associates and managers to do more with less due to temporary salary reductions, furloughs, and work schedule cutbacks, and, ultimately, workforce reductions. Key actions taken since the beginning of the pandemic include:

Completing the sale of our licensed Speedo North America business for approximately $170 million;
Suspending share repurchases and quarterly dividends;
Securing a $275 million 364-day revolving credit facility;
Raising €175 million through a private offering of senior notes due 2024;
Obtaining covenant waivers under our 2019 senior credit facilities;
Raising $500 million through a private offering of senior notes due 2025;
Announcing the exit from our Heritage Brands Retail division by mid-2021;
Effecting workforce reductions in North America and certain international markets;
Announcing and completing the planned Chief Executive Officer transition to Mr. Larsson from Mr. Chirico;
Appointing two diverse independent directors in connection with our Board refreshment program; and
Adding key leadership talent, including a Chief Executive Officer, PVH Americas (new role); Chief People Officer (Chief Human Resources Officer retired); Chief Executive Officer, PVH Asia-Pacific (leadership change); Chief Diversity Officer and Senior Vice President of Global Talent Acquisition and Associate Experience (new role); and chief brand, marketing, design and merchandising executives at both Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger (new roles or filled vacancies).

We developed compensation packages for 2020 that reflected management’s efforts and success in effecting these actions, the financial realities of the year, the volatility in the stock market, the need to incentivize and retain key talent, and the need to recognize management’s leadership in navigating the pandemic and positioning the company and our businesses to exit the pandemic in a strong position and prepared to deliver our next chapter of growth. The key changes are noted below:

Compensation Discussion & Analysis Compensation Decisions for 2020

The reduction in bonus payout opportunities meant that a payout at the maximum performance level to each of Messrs. Chirico, Shaffer and Larsson would equal the target payout under their standard compensation packages. Ms. Abel-Hodges’ maximum payout opportunity would be above her standard target payout opportunity. Mr. Hagman’s maximum payout opportunity would be below his standard target payout opportunity.

We did not adjust performance goals for any of our outstanding PSU awards (i.e., grants made in 2017, 2018

and 2019). PSU awards for the three-year performance cycles that ended in April 2020 and April 2021 did not pay out because the performance goals established at the time they were granted (i.e., 2017 and 2018, respectively) were not achieved.

Base Salaries

Objective

Objectives

Base salaries provide our Named Executive Officers with a stable and secure source of income at a market-competitive level, and also serve to retain and motivate these individuals.

Considerations

Base salaries are established for each NEO primarily based upon market considerations, peer data, PVH’s overall performance, our expected performance, individual performance, and (for Messrs. Duane, GriederMs. Abel-Hodges and Shiffman) the performance of theMr. Hagman) business units for which an NEO has responsibility.unit performance. For any particular NEO, the Compensation Committee also may consider time between salary increases, whether the NEO was recently promoted or assumed additional responsibilities, the NEO’s advancement potential, and whether the NEO executed special or difficult assignments during the year. Finally, the Compensation Committee takes into account the relative salaries of our Named Executive Officers. Ultimately, base salary decisions are subjective; no specific weight is assigned to any deciding factor.

2018

2020 decisions

We did not grant base salary increases in 2020 (other than Mr. Hagman’s promotional increase). This decision was a reflection of the business environment at the time and expectations that difficult conditions would continue; it also preserved cash and was consistent with decisions we were making not to provide salary increases across our associate populations and to furlough associates, reduce work schedules (and proportionate pay) and reduce our workforce.

Base salaries for our NEOs, along with their adjusted salaries that give effect to the temporary salary reductions implemented in 2020 for three months are shown below. The salary increases shown were effective on June 1, 2018.

Short-Term Incentives—Performance Incentive Bonus Plan

Objective
[MISSING IMAGE: tv515132_chrt-bar13.jpg]
Annual bonus awards under our Performance Incentive Bonus Plan provide cash compensation that is at risk and contingent on the achievement of short-term company and, for some NEOs, business unit performance goals. We establish performance targets that we believe are rigorous, but not rigorous enough to encourage excessive risk. As evidence of this rigor, over the past five years, annual bonuses have been at or below target once, somewhat above target twice and at or near maximum twice.

Objective

Annual bonus awards under our Performance Incentive Bonus Plan provide cash compensation that is at risk and contingent on the achievement of short-term company and, for some NEOs, business unit performance goals. We establish performance targets that we believe are rigorous but not likely to encourage excessive risk-taking. As evidence of this rigor, over the past five years, our performance against the goals established for bonuses has varied significantly, ranging from slightly above threshold to maximum.

Considerations

We believe annual bonuses are appropriate to motivate the Named Executive Officers to execute against the budget and business plans approved by ourthe Board each year. These budgets typically are the basis of our earnings and other guidance, assessments of our performance in earnings releases, and discussions with investors. We generally align performance metrics for annual bonus awards to our annual budgets and presentations to investors.establish the goals and payout opportunities in the first quarter.

2020 decisions

The pandemic and actions by governments around the world to attempt to contain the spread of the virus impacted our global business, including requiring us, our traditional wholesale customers and our franchisees to shut down almost all of our stores during the first quarter of 2020. Goals for bonuses based on corporate performance typically are based on our public earnings guidance, which, in turn, is derived from our Board-approved budgets. However, given the volatile business environment and the unpredictable impact of the pandemic, we did not provide earnings guidance in 2020 beyond general directional revenue estimates, and that only once stores started to reopen. When stores (ours, our customers’ and our franchisees’) generally were reopened and the business environment became somewhat more settled in the second quarter of 2020 we made the bonus awards for the year. Delaying the bonus award process from April to July allowed us to review and update our internal business plans and assess actual and projected performance based on our operations and market conditions at that time. The Compensation Committee, for its part, was able to receive information on other companies’ approaches to bonuses in light of the pandemic’s effect on business, and to use actual performance information to establish financial goals for the second through fourth quarters of 2020 that aligned with and incentivized the achievement of strategic priorities set forth in our plans. Throughout the year, the Committee received detailed updates with respect to the company’s actual and projected performance.

The bonus awards made by the Committee had several key differences from prior years that reflected the impact the pandemic was having on PVH and our business. Most importantly:

Payout opportunities were half of those in the NEOs’ standard compensation packages. As a result, the payouts for Messrs. Chirico, Shaffer and Larsson could not exceed their standard target payouts. Ms. Abel-Hodges’ payout opportunity at the maximum performance level was above her standard target payout. Mr. Hagman’s payout opportunity at maximum performance was below his standard target payout.
EBITDA was the performance measure used for both corporate and business unit awards to focus on the importance of generating cash and reinforcing our liquidity and financial position.

There was a much wider than usual range between the target and maximum performance goals and the target and threshold goals to reflect the volatile business environment and the unpredictable impact of the pandemic at the time goals were set.

Non-financial criteria
Payouts for the NEOs also are based upon individual performance against pre-established non-financial strategic and performance criteria, which gives the Compensation Committee some flexibility to modify payouts (up or down) by up to 25% of an NEO’s base salary, so long as an adjusted award does not exceed the NEO’s maximum opportunity. We added this additional component to the bonus awards in 2017 to encourage and reward NEOs’ efforts to improve performance, develop and advance associates under their leadership, and lead progress against our corporate responsibility commitments. These items either do not get captured by the financial goals or are expected to yield benefits only in the future.

We believed this approach reflected the role annual bonuses play in the context of their annual bonus awards attributable to the earnings performance of their business units. These payouts, subject to the adjustments described below, were calculated on a straight-line interpolation basis fromour compensation packages in incentivizing and retaining senior executives despite the potential payouts shown above. Payoutsunpredictable impact of the global pandemic on business performance. We also thought it important to continue using a quantified financial performance metric, rather than choosing to apply qualitative measures or taking a subjective approach using qualitative measures. The performance goals and actual results for the businessawards made in 2020 are set forth below.

Business unit portionEBITDA

A majority of the annual awardsbonus opportunities for Ms. Abel-Hodges and Mr. Hagman were betweenbased on the EBITDA of the business units they lead. As with corporate goals, threshold performance goals typically are set at approximately 90% of target and maximum performance goals typically are set at approximately 110% of target, although the range can vary from year to year based on the Compensation Committee’s evaluation of business conditions. As with the corporate EBITDA goals, the threshold-to-maximum range was significantly greater in 2020 given the unprecedented disruption caused by the pandemic and the inability to predict the pandemic’s impact on business unit performance. The performance goals applicable to each of these NEOs are set forth below, as well as the actual results for the awards made in 2020.

Strategic performance criteria

Payouts for the NEOs also are based upon an evaluation of individual performance against strategic performance criteria established at the time the awards are made. This provides the Compensation Committee some flexibility to modify payouts (up or down) by a maximum of 25% of a NEO’s base salary, so long as an adjusted award does not exceed the NEO’s maximum opportunity. This component encourages and rewards the NEOs’ efforts to improve performance, develop and advance associates under their leadership, and progress against our corporate responsibility commitments, as well as take other actions that may have a negative earnings impact in the year taken but are nonetheless considered beneficial. These items typically either do not get captured by the financial goals or are expected to yield benefits only in the future and may not be reflected directly in future bonus calculations. No adjustments were made to any 2020 payouts.

2020 annual bonus payouts

Despite the significant challenges caused by the pandemic, we saw improved performance trends in the second half of the year as our management team led strategic efforts to position the company for future growth. Our Asia business was very strong, led by our performance in China. China emerged first and built upon 2019 performance with revenue through digital channels growing 55% and, when fully open, our European businesses drove high consumer and retailer demand and clear market share gains. In addition, we supercharged our digital business, including acting nimbly to use inventories from closed stores and using our own warehouses to supplement the work of our third-party digital commerce fulfillment provider. These actions led to our strongest-ever digital sales growth of 43%, including 69% growth on our own sites, while driving a significant improvement in our profitability in the channel. We also focused on rightsizing our cost base and tightly managed our discretionary spending to offset the impact that store closures and sales pressure around the world would have on profitability. As a result, our corporate EBITDA and applicable business unit EBITDA performance was above the maximum level performance goals, and all NEOs received corresponding payouts (at the reduced percentages of their base salaries in comparison to their standard compensation packages). These payouts were the equivalent of a standard target-level payout for Messrs. Chirico, Shaffer and Larsson, above Ms. Abel-Hodges’ standard target payout and below Mr. Duane, at maximum for Mr. Grieder, and between threshold and target for Mr. Shiffman.

Mr. Duane received an upward adjustment of his bonus of  $240,000 (20.87% of his base salary) for his efforts leading our innovation program, the expansion of our digital efforts for the Heritage Brands business, including the launch of three owned e-commerce sites, and the licensing of IZOD for sales by our Europe team.
Mr. Shiffman received a downward adjustment of his bonus of  $82,115 (8.42% of his base salary). This adjustment was to reflect that Mr. Shiffman’s strategy for the Calvin Klein business resulted in performance issues in parts of the business, leading to the decision to exit the high-end “halo” Collection business and restructure other parts of the organization.

Long-Term Incentives—Incentives — Stock Options and Restricted Stock Units


Objective

Annual grants under our 2006 Stock Incentive Plan of stock options and restricted stock units align the NEOs’ interests with those of our stockholders. The value of these awards is at risk and varies with the price of our common stock.

Considerations

We believe that stock options provide an incentive to recipients to increase stockholder value over the long term: the benefit of a stock option is determined by how much the price of the underlying stock appreciates over the life of the option, and an option has no value if that stock price does not increase. Moreover, we believe that stock options have the potential to deliver more value to an executive than restricted stock units.

We grant restricted stock units because they mimic the interests of stockholders, as both increases and decreases in our stock price have the same effect on holders of restricted stock units as they do on stockholders. Additionally, restricted stock units serve as a constant incentive, regardless of fluctuations in stock price.

We believe that stock options provide an incentive to recipients to increase stockholder value over the uselong term. The benefit of a stock option is determined by how much the price of the underlying stock appreciates over the life of the option, and an option has no value if the stock price does not increase. Moreover, we believe that stock options have the potential to deliver more value to an executive than restricted stock units.

We believe that using a combination of stock options and restricted stock units is consistent with our compensation philosophy, as each aligns our executives with stockholder interests in different ways.

2018

2020 decisions

We granted bothtook a modified approach to making the 2020 annual grants of stock options and restricted stock units to our Named Executive Officers during 2018, except as noted belowOfficers. Consistent with regard to Mr. Duane. Thesehistorical grant practices, these awards vest at a rate of 25% on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date except as noted below with regard to Mr. Duane.(provided the recipient remains employed by PVH). The stock options will expire 10 years after the grant date if not exercised. Grantees receive shares of our common stock upon the vesting of restricted stock units equal in a number equal to the number of restricted stock units that vest. Grantees may elect to have us withhold shares with a value on the vesting date equal to taxes thatthe associated taxes.

In a departure from historical grant practices, the annual awards (which typically are owed.

We entered into a three-year employment agreement with Mr. Duanemade in March 2018. April) were made in two tranches for 2020 — the first in April and the second in September to the approximately 1,300 participating PVH associates. 

The agreement provided for him to receive a one-time grantApril awards consisted of the same numbers of stock options and RSUs with a targetas were awarded in 2019. However, since the stock price on the April 2020 grant date value($47.96) was approximately 38% of $3,300,000, and for nothe stock options to be granted. The targetprice on the 2019 grant date value was equal to three times($127.26), the aggregate target grant date value of the annual RSUs and2020 awards was significantly less than the grant date value of the 2019 awards. The September awards consisted of a number of stock options and RSUs that, he had received previously. These RSUs will vestwhen combined with the April awards, would have an aggregate value equivalent to each NEO’s standard annual grant value for each type of award.

The April grants were made in one-third increments onthe manner described because of the volatility in our stock price at the time and concerns that a full regular grant in that turbulent market might be seen as unfair to stockholders. (Our closing stock price ranged from $29.05 to $90.00 during the first secondquarter 2020.) The April grants were made to maintain some regularity in our compensation program. More importantly, they provided an incentive to our associates (including our NEOs), who were agreeing at the same time to significant salary reductions and thirdalso had been informed that bonus awards were not being made at that time (when they normally would be) and, that when the bonus awards were made, would be at a reduced payout opportunity (50% in the case of the NEOs). The September grants were made when the Compensation Committee determined that a sufficient level of stability had returned to the stock market and that making the awards at that time could not be misconstrued as taking advantage of a low stock price. The value of awards granted in 2020 was not adjusted to reflect the fact that the PSUs for the performance period that ended in April 2020 did not pay out and the awards for the performance cycle ending in April 2021 likely would not pay out, at least in part due to the impact of the pandemic on our stock performance.

Mr. Hagman also received a grant of stock options and an additional grant of RSUs, each on standard terms, in June 2020 in connection with his promotion. Additionally, he received a special grant of RSUs in August 2020 that vests 25% on each of the first and second anniversaries of the grant date.date and 50% on the third anniversary. The August grant was made to further align his performance incentives with the interests of stockholders after assessing his compensation package and his outstanding stock awards.

Compensation Discussion & Analysis Compensation Decisions for 2020

Long-Term Incentives—Incentives — Performance Share Units


Objective

Annual grants under our 2006 Stock Incentive Plan of performance share units provide compensation that is at risk and contingent on the achievement of pre-determined performance criteria over an extended period. Performance share units also link to our performance and align with stockholder interests because their value will increase if our stock price is higher at the end of the performance cycle than it was on the grant date (and will decrease if the stock price is lower). Performance share units have retentive value because they generally only pay out if the participant remains employed by PVH for the entire performance cycle.

Considerations

Performance share unit awards granted in 20182020 have a three-year performance cycle and will vest (or not) based on PVH’s performance against two financial metrics: absolute stock price performance (50% weight) and relative total stockholder return against the S&P 500 as constituted on the grant date (50% weight). We believe this structure for the awards provides a balanced focus on driving long-term financial performance, with the ultimate goal of creating value for our stockholders. WeThe Compensation Committee regularly reviewreviews the financial metrics and consider alternatives butconsiders alternatives. We determined in 2020 to continue to believe that relative total stockholder return and absolute stock price performance best reflect increases in value forusing these measures given their alignment with the long-term interests of our stockholders. We also believe it is important to use different financial measures for annual and long-term incentive awards.

To reinforce the long-term focus these awards are meant to create, Mr. Chiricoour Chief Executive Officer is required to hold for one year the after-tax shares he receivesreceived upon payout. This holding requirement is in addition to histhe CEO’s stock ownership guideline. For 2020, only Mr. Chirico’s awards have this requirement, as Mr. Larsson was not Chief Executive Officer when the 2020 awards were made.

Performance measures

Peer Group
ClearBridge reviews with the Committee annually the compensation peer group used in the prior year, along with potential additions or deletions from the group. The companies in the proposed peer group are involved in the wholesale or retail sales of apparel and related products, use similar channels of distribution, and are of a comparable size to PVH. The Committee reviews, considers, and approves the peer group annually.annually after receiving input from ClearBridge regarding potential additions to or deletions from the group. Factors deliberated include changes to a peer company’s business that make our companies less comparable; pending acquisitions involving a peer company; a material change in a peer company’s financial condition or results of operations; and a diminution in the amount and quality of compensation information available regarding a peer company’s executives.

We use the peer group to provide market context for compensation decisions, both because these are the companies with which we compete for executive talent and because it helps the Compensation Committee assess the reasonableness of our compensation packages. Specifically, the Committee considers a study compiled each year by ClearBridge (using information culled from public filings and published compensation benchmark surveys) of compensation awarded to executives in the peer group as part of its review when considering compensation packages.

The 20182020 peer group consisted of companies with wholesale or retail apparel, accessories or related products businesses, andas well as specialty retailers. The peer group companies had revenues for their most recently completed fiscal years between approximately 50% and 200% of our annual revenue, as shown below.

Use of Non-GAAP Results

Performance targets based on corporate or business unit performance are typically measured on a non-GAAP basis. The Compensation Committee determines at the time it establishes the targets certain types of expenses, costs, and other matters (such as acquisitionacquisitions, divestitures, restructurings and related restructuring and integration costs and subsequentany discrete tax events, including changes in tax rates or accounting rules)tax laws) that it believes should not affect the calculation of the achievement of a performance goal. Business unit performance targets also typically exclude corporate allocations, costs associated with corporate initiatives, and other matters that management recommends to the Committee should not be considered.

The corporate and business unit earningsEBITDA targets discussed in this Proxy Statement all include adjustments and exclusions of the type discussed above. These adjustments and exclusions may differ from those used by management when providing guidance and discussing results. As a result, the earnings results and targets discussed in this sectionCD&A may differ from, or may not in the future be aligned with, our reported earnings.

results.

Timing of Equity Awards

Our equity award policy provides that the annual grant of stock options and restricted stock units to our senior executives, including our NEOs, generally will be approved by the Compensation Committee at a meeting held during the period commencing two days after the public release of the prior year’s earnings results and ending two weeks before the end of the first fiscal quarter of the current year. PSU awards are made later in the first quarter to provide time to finalize financial goals and, because the goals include stock price performance, so that the end of the performance cycle occurs shortly after we report our year-end earnings.

PVH CORP. 2021 PROXY STATEMENT   |   57

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS ADMINISTRATION OF OUR COMPENSATION PROGRAMS

Equity awards may be made to our NEOs outside of the annual grant process in connection with a promotion or assumption of new or additional duties, or for another appropriate reason. All such grants to our NEOs must be approved by the Committee and generally will be made on the first business day of the month following the effective date of the precipitating event (or on the effective date, if it is the first business day of a month). The Committee retains the discretion not to make grants at the times provided in the equity award policy if the members determine the timing is not appropriate, such as if they are in possession of material non-public information. Additionally, the Committee retains the discretion to make grants, including an annual equity grant, at times other than as provided in the policy if the members determine circumstances, such as changes in accounting and tax regulations, warrant taking such an action.

As discussed above, in 2020, we varied from the policy by granting equity awards in two tranches rather than one.

Prohibition on Pledging and Hedging

We have a comprehensive Insider Trading Policy that includes a prohibition on pledging our securities or holding our securities in a margin account oraccount. Additionally, the policy prohibits engaging in hedging, monetization and similar transactions in respect of our securities. This policy, applicable to all officers, directors and directors,associates, was put in place to ensure that the interests of these individuals remain aligned with those of our stockholders, and that they continue to have the incentive to execute our long-term plans and achieve the performance for which their equity awards are intended.

Clawback Policy

Through 2017, all of our incentive compensation plans had provisions that allow us to seek recovery against individual executive officers for incentive compensation paid in certain events due to fraud or misconduct. In 2018, we adopted a

Our Clawback Policy that permits us to recover compensation in the event of a restatement of our financial statements or a material violation of a material company policy.

Awards made under our stock and incentive compensation plans are subject to the Clawback Policy.

Internal Pay Equity

We do not have a policy regarding internal pay equity but we do review compensation levels to ensure that appropriate internal pay equity exists. In some cases, there are differences in the compensation packages awarded to our Named Executive Officers, such as differences in the percentage of base salary payable under our incentive awards. These differences are largely the result of benchmarking but also reflect considerations such as the NEO’s seniority relative pay and tenure. With these exceptions, our policies and decisions relating to our NEO compensation packages are substantially identical.

The following graphs show the ratios of Mr. Chirico’s target total direct compensation to that of the next highest paid executive officer and to that of all the other NEOs for each of the past three years.

Federal Income Tax Deductibility of Executive Compensation

Through 2017, Section 162(m) of the Code generally limited to $1 million per year the amount a publicly held corporation could deduct as a business expense in respect of compensation paid to the company’s chief executive officer and the three other most highly compensated executive officers, other than the chief financial officer. The limit was subject to certain exceptions, including an exclusion for qualified performance-based compensation. Compensation paid or received under our incentive plans (other than solely time-based restricted stock and restricted stock units) has been generally was intended to satisfy the requirements for deductibility.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION & ANALYSISRISK CONSIDERATIONS IN COMPENSATION PROGRAMS

Nonetheless, our compensation philosophy and decisions were and are driven by factors other than deductibility. In some instances, we determined it was in our best interest to provide compensation that was not fully deductible. This was the case, for example, when Mr. Chirico’s and Mr. Duane’s base salaries were set.

The U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 made certain changes to Section 162(m), effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. These changes include in part, subjecting the compensation of a company’s chief financial officer to the $1 million per year deduction limit and generally eliminating the exclusion for qualified performance-based compensation (though there was some transition relief for certain performance-based compensation paid pursuant to a written agreement that was in effect on November 2, 2017).compensation. We have not made any material changes to our compensation program in response to the legislation, although we did eliminate from our annual restricted stock unit and bonus awards granted in 2018 the adjusted net income goals that had been implemented solely to satisfy Section 162(m).

Employment Agreements, Termination of Employment, and Severance

We have employment agreements with all of our actively employed Named Executive Officers that generally provide them with severance benefits and provide usPVH with the protections of restrictive covenants. We use employment agreements to attract and retain qualified executives who could have job alternatives they might otherwise accept. Mr. Duane is the only NEO with an agreement for a fixed term. All the agreements, other agreementsthan Mr. Chirico’s and Mr. Hagman’s, are evergreen, althoughevergreen. Mr. Grieder’sChirico’s agreement terminates on December 31, 2021, and Mr. Hagman’s is subject to a statutory retirement age. The material terms of these agreements are described under the heading “Employment Contracts,” beginning on page 55. 65. Exhibit B provides a list of the SEC filings that have an NEO employment agreement as an exhibit.

ClearBridge has advised us that the employment agreements for our U.S.-based executives provide benefits that are generally “market,” particularly within our industry peer group. The severance multipliers under the NEOs’ agreements are as follows:

The equity awards we granted prior to 2014 automatically vest upon a change in control (i.e., single trigger).

Risk Considerations in Compensation Programs

RISK CONSIDERATIONS IN COMPENSATION PROGRAMS

Our compensation program is a pay-for-performance model; performance-based incentives constitute a significant portion of the compensation packages awarded to executives. We believe it is important to ensure that these incentives do not indirectly encourage our associates to take actions that may conflict with our long-term best interests. We address this concern in several ways.

Pay mix. We believe that base salaries, which do not engender risky behavior, are a sufficient component of total compensation to retain and motivate our executives. Incentive compensation consists of both short-term and long-term incentives, which encourages associates to focus on both short-term results and long-term sustainable performance. Although the majority of pay is variable, incentive compensation is heavily weighted towards long-term components. These factors discourage risk-taking.

Capped awards. The payouts on annual bonus and performance share unit awards are capped, even if our performance exceeds the predetermined goals. This mitigates the risk that associates may take unwise actions to enhance our performance.

PVH CORP. 2021 PROXY STATEMENT   |   59

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

Long-term performance. Performance share unit awards are based upon our performance over a three-year period, which reduces any incentive to take short-term risks. In addition, the performance measures we use align management and stockholder interests. The outstanding awards are subject to goals for absolute stock price appreciation and relative total stockholder return goals.

return.

Vesting over extended periods. Stock options and restricted stock units generally do not vest fully for four years. This longerlengthy vesting period discourages unnecessary or excessive risk-taking. Additionally, our Insider Trading Policy prohibits hedging and other activities that could offset the benefits of having these as long-term awards.

PVH CORP. 2019 PROXY STATEMENT

CD&A  Compensation Committee Report

Performance metrics and goals. The earnings goals for annual bonus awards made to our senior executives, including the NEOs, are based upon our annual budgets, which are reviewed and approved by the Board. (The unique circumstances in 2020 required a different process, which is described on page 47). We believe these goals are sufficiently challenging but attainable without the need to take inappropriate risks or make material changes to our business or strategy. The bonuses payable under the annual management bonus programs, in which certain other executives participate, are based on the same performance measures as those that apply to NEO bonuses, which means that all of our associates are pursuing complementary goals, and all of those goals are consistent with stockholder interests. The one bonus plan we have in which associates may receive bonuses based upon financial metrics that differ from those in our Performance Incentive Bonus Plan and our annual management bonus program provides de minimis bonuses. bonuses.

Recoupment. We adopted a Clawback Policy in 2018 that allows us to recover any incentive compensation paid or granted to any current or former Section 16 officer (the executives whose compensation is subject to Compensation Committee review and approval) in the event of a restatement of our financial statements or a material breach of a material company policy. Previously, our incentive plans provided for the recovery or cancellation of part or all of a particular participant’s bonuses and awards in the event we restated our financial results to correct a material error or inaccuracy resulting in whole or in part from the fraud or intentional misconduct of that participant.

Equity ownership. Incentive compensation has a large stock component to it. The value of equity awards is best realized through long-term appreciation of stockholder value, especially when coupled with our stock ownership guidelines. Since our NEOs are required to hold a prescribed amount of our common stock, it is in their interest not to jeopardize stock appreciation.

ClearBridge identified the above items in a risk assessment of each component of the compensation program for our NEOs that was presented to the Compensation Committee. We believe the assessment is applicable to the potential risks arising in connection with compensating our associates as well, since the programs and metrics are similar. Accordingly, we do not believe there are any risks arising from our overall compensation program that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on PVH.

Mr. Chirico’sChirico's awards granted in 2020, 2019 and 2018 2017 and 2016 are each subject to a holding period of one year after the applicable vesting date. For such awards, the grant date fair value was discounted 7.09%15.94%, 12.67%6.20% and 12.99%,7.09% respectively, for the restriction of liquidity, which we calculate using the Chaffe model.

These amounts are being paid over the five-year period ending in 2019.

Generally, in the event of a termination of employment without cause or for good reason, each of these executives is entitled to a multiple (one and a half times for Messrs. Shaffer and Duane;Mr. Shaffer; two times for Messrs. Chirico, and Shiffman)Larsson and Ms. Abel-Hodges) of the sum of histhe executive’s base salary plus an amount equal to the bonus that would be payable if target level performance were achieved under the annual bonus plan (if any) in respect of the fiscal year during which the termination occurs (or the prior fiscal year, if bonus levels have not yet been established for the year of termination). Messrs. Chirico, Shaffer, Duane and Shiffman are requiredAll of the agreements require the applicable NEO to execute a release of claims in our favor in order to receive these payments. All such amounts are payable in accordance with our payroll schedule in 36 (for Messrs. Shaffer and Duane)Mr. Shaffer) or 48 (for Messrs. Chirico and Shiffman)Larsson and Ms. Abel-Hodges) substantially equal installments.

The agreements provide that for a period of time (18 months for Messrs.Mr. Shaffer, and Duane, two years for Mr.Messrs. Chirico and 12 months for Mr. Shiffman)Larsson, and Ms. Abel-Hodges) following the termination of the executive’s employment without cause or for good reason, medical, dental life, and disabilitylife insurance coverages are continued for the executive (and histhe executive’s family, to the extent participating prior to termination of employment), subject to cessation if the executive obtains replacement coverage from another employer (although there is no duty to seek employment

or mitigate damages). The executive is required to pay the active employee rate, if any, for such coverage.

Mr. Larsson’s agreement provides that we would pay to him, by no later than December 31, 2020, a bonus in an amount equal to 80% of our good faith estimate of the bonus amount that he will earn for our 2020 fiscal year. If the actual bonus amount earned by Mr. Larsson for fiscal year 2020 was less than the estimated amount, then he was obligated to repay promptly the difference. If the actual bonus earned was greater than the estimated amount, the difference was to be paid to him at the same time as other payouts are made to the other participants in the Plan.

Mr. Larsson’s agreement provides that he will receive, in respect of the PSUs granted to him if his employment is terminated without “cause” or for “good reason,” then the number of shares of our common stock, if any, that would otherwise have been delivered to him in settlement of the PSUs based on actual performance for the applicable performance period, prorated to the portion of the applicable performance period that he actually worked, unless the date of termination occurs prior to the last day of the first fiscal year of the applicable

performance period, in which case no shares will be delivered to Mr. Larsson and the applicable PSU award will be forfeited. In addition, in such circumstances, Mr. Larsson’s stock options will become fully vested as of the termination date and will remain exercisable until the earlier to occur of the original expiration date of each stock option and the date three months following his date of termination, and all of the RSUs granted to him on that date will become fully vested as of such date. However, if Mr. Larsson is named the successor Chief Executive Officer to Mr. Chirico, then, from and after the date on which he is named the successor Chief Executive Officer, the treatment of awards described in the preceding two sentences will not apply and Mr. Larsson’s then-outstanding equity awards will be treated in the same manner upon any such termination of his employment as the standard awards of the same type granted in the same year to the other executive officers of PVH. For more information about such treatment, see “Other Arrangements,” which begins on page 69.

Termination following a change in control. Messrs. Chirico, Shaffer, Duane and ShiffmanEach of the NEOs also areis entitled, in lieu of the above and subject to executing a release of claims in our favor, to severance upon the termination of their employment without cause or for good reason within two years after a change in control of PVH (as defined in the agreements). In either such case, the executive will receive an aggregate amount equal to two times (three times for Mr. Chirico) the sum of histhe executive’s base salary plus an amount equal to the bonus that would be payable if target level performance were achieved under the annual bonus plan (if any) in respect of the fiscal year during which the termination occurs (or the prior fiscal year, if bonus levels have not yet been established for the year of termination). This amount will be paid in a lump sum if the change in control constitutes a “change in the ownership” or a “change in the effective control” of PVH or a “change in the ownership of a substantial portion of [PVH’s]PVH’s assets” (each within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code). Otherwise, this amount will be paid in 48 (72 for Mr. Chirico) substantially equal payments.

These executives also would receive comparable medical, dental life and disabilitylife insurance coverage for themselves and their families for the two-year (three-year for Mr. Chirico) period immediately following such a termination, without a duty to mitigate or obtain replacement coverage from a subsequent employer.

Under her agreement, Ms. Abel-Hodges will not be entitled to severance if PVH’s Calvin Klein business is sold, spun off or otherwise disposed of by PVH, regardless of the form or nature of such transaction, and either (i) she continues her employment in substantially the same or a greater capacity in regard to the Calvin Klein business as immediately prior to the transaction, regardless of the terms of such employment, or (ii) she is offered continued employment in connection with such transaction (whether or not she accepts the offer) and either (A) the employment agreement is to be assumed by the

Mr. Larsson’s agreement provides that in respect of the PSUs granted to him, the applicable performance goals will be deemed satisfied (a) based on the level of performance achieved as of the date of the change in control, if determinable, or (b) at the target level, if not determinable, provided that if less than 50% of the applicable performance period has elapsed as of the date of the change in control, then the performance goals applicable to the PSUs will be deemed satisfied at the target level, and such PSUs will become fully vested as of Mr. Larsson’s date of termination. In addition, Mr. Larsson’s agreement provides for the same treatment of his outstanding stock options and RSU awards in the event of a termination of employment without cause or for good reason as is described above when not occurring within two years of a change in control. The lapse of such acceleration of Mr. Larsson’s PSUs, stock options and RSUs upon being named Mr. Chirico’s successor also applies. For more information, see “Other Arrangements,” which begins on page 69.

All of the employment agreements provide that if the receipt of the foregoing severance would subject anythe executive to the excise tax on excess parachute payments under Section 4999 of the Code, histhe executive’s severance would be reduced by the amount required to avoid the excise tax if such a reduction would give himthe executive a better after-tax result than if hethe executive received the full severance amount.

Stefan Larsson — Amendment to Employment Agreement

PVH and Mr. Larsson entered into an amendment to his employment agreement on January 27, 2021 in connection with his appointment as Chief Executive Officer.

The amendment increases Mr. Larsson’s base salary to $1,300,000 per annum. The amendment also reflects the lapse of certain rights in respect of equity incentive awards set forth in his employment agreement, which are discussed above, that Mr. Larsson would have been entitled to if he had not been named Chief Executive Officer.

The amendment provides that during Mr. Larsson’s employment, we will cause Mr. Larsson to be nominated for reelection to the Board at the expiration of each Board term.

a reduction of base salary, unless the Board imposes similar reductions in base salaries for other executive officers;

the taking of any action that substantially diminishes (a) the aggregate value of his total compensation opportunity or (b) the aggregate value of the employee benefits provided to him;

our failure to cause Mr. Larsson to be nominated for reelection to the Board at the expiration of each Board term during his employment;

requiring that his services be rendered primarily at a location or locations more than 35 miles from PVH’s principal executive offices;

solely after a change in control of PVH, Mr. Larsson is not serving as the Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Board of Directors of the top-most company in the chain of companies resulting from such change in control at any time during the one-year period following such change in control (other than as a result of Mr. Larsson’s termination of employment for any reason or cessation of service as a director due to death or disability); and

To date, we have granted to the NEOs (i) service-based incentive and non-qualified stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units; and (ii) contingently issuable performance share units and restricted stock units. The following describes the effect upon stock option, restricted stock unit, and performance share unit awards of a termination of employment or change in control (the only types of awards currently outstanding).

Stock options

Unvested

The following sets forth the effect of certain triggering events on stock options that are assumed by an acquirer upon a change in control will continueprior to vest on their original schedule and only become immediately exercisable in full after termination of employment (other than for “cause”exercise or without “good reason,” as and if such terms are defined in a participant’s employment agreement) within two years of the change in control (i.e., double trigger). All unvested stock options that are not assumed by an acquirer upon a change in control will become immediately exercisable in full upon a change in control.

In the event of death, all unvested stock options generally become immediately exercisable. In the event of retirement, unvested stock options granted in the year of retirement are forfeited immediately if the recipient retires before December 31; all other unvested stock options generally become immediately exercisable upon retirement. Stock options, if unexercised, generally will expire three months after the qualification of the representative of a recipient’s estate
expiration.

Death58Unvested stock options become exercisable and, together with already exercisable options, expire three months after the qualification of the representative of the participant’s estate (or such earlier date on which they are scheduled to expire).
Change In ControlUnvested stock options that are assumed by the acquirer continue on the same terms. Unvested stock options that are not assumed by the acquirer become immediately exercisable.
DisabilityUnvested stock options become immediately exercisable and, together with already exercisable options, expire three months after the termination of employment (or such earlier date on which they are scheduled to expire).
Retirement1Unvested stock options become immediately exercisable, except that awards granted in the year of retirement are forfeited if the participant retires prior to the last day of the calendar year of the grant. Stock options that vest, together with already exercisable options, expire three years after the retirement (or such earlier date on which they are scheduled to expire).

(in the event of a recipient’s death) or in three years (in the event of a recipient’s retirement). In all other circumstances, all unvested stock options will expire upon the termination of the recipient’s employment. If an option holder leaves our employ other than in the case of death, retirement or termination for cause, any then-exercisable stock options previously granted to but not yet exercised by such recipient generally will expire within 90 days of such termination of employment. If a recipient is terminated for cause, all of the recipient’s exercisable stock options will immediately expire.
1All stock options granted to Mr. Chirico starting in 2018 expire 10 years after grant, regardless of when he retires (other than retirement prior to the last day of the year of grant, in which case they are forfeited).

2“Good reason” is as defined in a participant’s employment agreement (if any). “Cause” is as defined in the Stock Incentive Plan unless a participant’s employment agreement (if any) provides it controls.

Restricted stock units

Unvested restricted stock units that are assumed by an acquirer upon a change in control will continue to vest on their original

schedule and only vest in full on an accelerated basis after termination of employment (other than for “cause” or without “good reason,” as and if such terms are defined in a participant’s employment agreement)agreement, if any) within two years of the change in control (i.e., double trigger). All outstanding restricted stock units that are not assumed by an acquirer upon a change in control will vest in full on an accelerated basis upon the change in control. All outstanding restricted stock units vest in full in the event the recipient dies.dies or the recipient’s employment terminates due to disability. In the event of retirement, restricted stock units generally vest in full, except that restricted stock units granted in the year of retirement are forfeited immediately if the recipient retires before December 31. When a recipient’s employment terminates for any other reason, unvested restricted stock units are forfeited immediately.

These awards consist of stock options that vest in four equal installments on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date.
2
These awards consist of RSUs. Awards granted in 2015 vest in increments of 25.0%, 25.0% and 50.0% on the second, third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date. Awards granted in or after 2016 vest in four equal installments on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date, except for the award granted to Mr. Duane in 2018, which vests in three equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date. Awards granted prior to 2018, other than those granted to Mr. Grieder, also are subject to the requirement that we achieve a specific level of adjusted net income for any one of the fiscal years during the performance cycle before they vest. The required level was achieved for all applicable awards as of February 3, 2019.
3
The market value of unvested RSUs and unvested PSUs was calculated by multiplying the number of units by $108.76, the closing stock price of our common stock on February 1, 2019, the last business day of 2018.
4
These awards consist of PSU awards. The after-tax shares received by Mr. Chirico are subject to a holding period of one year after the vesting date. The above table shows the number of shares at the threshold level, as the estimated payout as of the end of 2018 was below threshold-level performance. The awards vested in April 2019 upon the certification of the satisfaction of the performance criteria. The number of shares earned was 52,001 for Mr. Chirico, 4,524 for Mr. Shaffer, 3,619 for Mr. Duane, 1,810 for Mr. Grieder and 3,619 for Mr. Shiffman.
5
These awards consist of PSU awards that will vest in April 2020 if the performance criteria are satisfied. The after-tax shares received by Mr. Chirico in the event his award pays out will be subject to a holding period of one year after the vesting date. The above table shows the number of shares at threshold level, as the estimated payout as of the end of 2018 is below threshold-level performance. The number of shares also assumes service for the entire three-year performance cycle; the awards generally pay out on a pro rata basis if the NEO does not work for the entire cycle.

1These awards consist of stock options that vest in four equal installments on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date.
2These awards consist of RSUs. Awards vest in four equal installments on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date, except for the award granted to (1) Mr. Shaffer in June 2019, which vests 10% on each of the first and second anniversary of the grant date, 15% on each of the third and fourth anniversary of the grant date and 50% on the fifth anniversary of the grant date; and (2) Mr. Hagman in August 2020, which vests 25% on each of the first and second anniversary of the grant date and 50% on the third anniversary of the grant date. Awards granted to Messrs. Chirico and Shaffer in 2017 are also subject to the requirement that we achieve a specific level of adjusted net incomefor any one of the fiscal years during the performance cycle before they vest. The required level was achieved for all applicable awards as of January 31, 2021.
3The market value of unvested RSUs and unvested PSUs was calculated by multiplying the number of units by $85.26, the closing stock price of our common stock on January 29, 2021, the last business day of 2020.
4These awards consist of PSU awards that would have vested April 2021 if the performance criteria were satisfied. The above table shows the number of shares at threshold level, as the estimated payout as of the end of 2020 was below threshold-level performance. As certified on May 3, 2021, the performance criteria were not satisfied and therefore no shares were earned.
5These awards consist of PSU awards that will vest in April 2022 if the performance criteria are satisfied. The after-tax shares received by Mr. Chirico in the event his award pays out will be subject to a holding period of one year after the vesting date. The above table shows the number of shares at threshold level, as the estimated payout as of the end of 2020 was below threshold-level performance. The number of shares also assumes service for the entire three-year performance cycle; the awards generally pay out on a pro rata basis if the NEO does not work for the entire cycle. See discussion on page 71.
6These awards consist of PSU awards that will vest in June 2022 if the performance criteria are satisfied. The above table shows the number of shares at target level for Mr. Larsson, as the estimated payout as of the end of 2020 was between threshold- and target-level performance. The above table shows the number of shares at threshold level for Ms. Abel-Hodges, as the estimated payout as of the end of 2020 was below threshold-level performance. The number of shares also assumes service for the entire three-year performance cycle; the awards generally pay out on a pro rata basis if the NEO does not work for the entire cycle. See discussion on page 71.
7These awards consist of PSU awards that will vest in April 2023 if the performance criteria are satisfied. The after-tax shares received by Mr. Chirico in the event his award pays out will be subject to a holding period of one year after the vesting date. The above table shows the number of shares at maximum level, as the estimated payout as of the end of 2020 was at maximum-level performance. The number of shares also assumes service for the entire three-year performance cycle; the awards generally pay out on a pro rata basis if the NEO does not work for the entire cycle. See discussion on page 71.

Please see Note 12, “Retirement and Benefit Plans,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 3, 2019, for the assumptions used in calculating the present value of the accumulated benefit. The present value of the accumulated benefit of Messrs. Chirico and Duane for the capital accumulation program was calculated using settlement rates based on the 10-year Treasury bill rates applicable under their agreements.

Pension Plan and Supplemental Pension Plan service credit and actuarial values are calculated as of February 3, 2019, which is the pension plan measurement date that we used for financial statement reporting purposes. Retirement age is the applicable plan’s “normal” retirement age or the earliest time when a participant may retire without an age-based reduction. The present values as of February 3, 2019, are calculated based on the following assumptions: (i) for annuity payments in the qualified plan, the RP-2014 mortality table, and the MP-2018 mortality improvement projection scale, as published by the Society of Actuaries; (ii) a 4.35% discount rate; (iii) form of payment in the qualified plan for males (60% assumed to elect a life annuity, 20% assumed to elect a 50% joint and survivor, and 20% assumed to elect a 100% joint and survivor); and (iv) Supplemental Pension Plan lump sum values based on the assumptions prescribed under the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (including, for payments projected to be made after 2019, the newly mandated unisex mortality table specified by IRS Notice 2017-60, based on the RP-2014 table, with projected mortality improvements, and December 2018 segment rates of 3.38% for payments expected to be made for the first five years, 4.32% for payments between five and 20 years, and 4.69% for payments made after 20 years).

Capital accumulation program credited service relates to the number of full years of vesting credit accrued by each applicable NEO based on the effective date of his underlying agreement. The benefit is fully vested after 10 years. Retirement age is the program’s “normal” retirement age or the earliest time when a participant may retire without an age-based reduction.

DEFINED BENEFIT PLANS

Pension Plan

Our Pension Plan is a qualified defined benefit plan. The Pension Plan is open to U.S.-based salaried, hourly clerical, and production, warehouse and distribution associates, with a few exceptions. For example, associates are not eligible to participate in the Plan if they are members of a collective bargaining unit that has not negotiated participation, they are independent contractors or consultants, or they are covered by another Company-provided pension plan. Salaried associates are eligible to participate beginning on the first day of the calendar quarter after they have completed one year of service in which they have worked at least 1,000 hours. Hourly associates are eligible to participate beginning on the first day of the calendar quarter after they have completed three months of service, provided thatif it is anticipated they will work at least 1,000 hours in the year.

The benefits under the Pension Plan generally are based on a participant’s career average compensation, excluding relocation pay, sign-on bonus, stay bonus, clothing allowance, Long-Term Incentive Plan pay and education expenses. Pre-2000 benefits for current salaried associates are based on pre-2000 last five years’ average compensation, unless the participant’s career average compensation is greater than the last five years’ average.

The participant’s prior service benefit and future service benefit are added together to determine the total retirement benefit. The prior service benefit is calculated by taking 1.00% of the past service compensation, plus 0.50% of the past service compensation over the Social Security average breakpoint (dollar amount determined by the year in which the participant reaches Social Security Normal Retirement Age), multiplied by the prior benefit service at December 31, 1999. The future service benefit is calculated by taking 1.00% of each year’s future service compensation, plus 0.50% of each year’s future service compensation over the Social Security-covered compensation breakpoint for each year of benefit service, assuming that the total benefit service (including prior service) does not exceed 35 years.

Benefits under the Pension Plan are vested after five years of service or, if earlier, when the participant becomes totally and permanently disabled or reaches age 65. TheWith the exception of Mr. Larsson, the benefits of our U.S.-based NEOs are fully vested.

Any participant who would be credited with fewer than 501 hours in a plan year due to a leave associated with the birth or adoption of a child or related childcare will be credited with 501 hours of service to prevent a break in service. A participantParticipants will not incur a break in service due to any leave of absence in accordance with the provisions of the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 or on account of military duty, provided they return to work within the re-employment period under Federal law.

Pension benefits become payable on the first day of the month following retirement, which is normally at age 65. Participants who have completed tenfive or more years of service are eligible for early retirement benefits, but they must wait until they attain age 55 before benefit payments commence.a lump sum distribution (or an immediate annuity form of distribution) at termination, regardless of age. Participants who terminate employment prior to age 55 and have worked less than ten or more years will receiveare eligible for an unsubsidized early retirement benefitsbenefit based on the factors in the following table:

All of our U.S.-based NEOs, with the exception of Mr. Larsson, are eligible for subsidized early retirement benefits.

Benefits under the Pension Plan become payable on the first of the month following retirement, normally at age 65, absent any election by a participant to commence the payment of benefits at a different time. Benefits are payable in one of the following ways:

Life-only annuity.A participant who is not married or married less than 12 months when payments begin and who does not elect an optional payment method will receive the full amount of the benefit in equal monthly installments for life. Payments begin on the first of the month following the retirement date. After death, no additional payments are made.

50% joint & survivor annuity.A participant who is married for at least 12 months when payments begin will receive the benefit as a 50% Joint & Survivor Annuity absent an election by the participant (and spousal consent) for an optional payment form. Under this option, a participant will receive a reduced monthly benefit for life. Thereafter, the participant’s spouse receives a benefit equal to 50% of the monthly benefit the participant was receiving. If the spouse dies before the participant but after the participant begins receiving payments, the participant will continue to receive the same benefit amount for life and no additional payments are made after death.

100% (or 75% or 662366⅔%) joint & survivor annuity. A participant will receive a reduced lifetime benefit under this option. The participant names a beneficiary and chooses the percentage of the benefit to continue to that individual after the participant’s death. After death, the beneficiary receives the percentage of benefit elected (100%, 75% or 662366⅔%) for life. The participant’s age at the date benefits commence, the beneficiary’s age and the percentage elected to continue after death affect the amount of the benefit received during the participant’s lifetime.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION TABLES Executive Compensation TablesDEFINED BENEFIT PLANS Defined Benefit Plans

Life & period certain annuity.A participant will receive a reduced lifetime benefit in equal monthly installments with payments guaranteed for at least the period of time elected (between one and 15 years) under this option. Payments continue for the rest of the participant’s life even if he or she lives longer than the period of time elected. However, if the participant receives less than the minimum number of payments before death, the same monthly benefit continues to the beneficiary until the combined total number of installment payments are made.

Full refund annuity.A participant will receive a reduced benefit for life, payable in equal monthly installments, under this option. If the participant dies before receiving the full single lump sum value of his or her benefit, determined at the date of retirement, the balance will be paid to the participant’s beneficiary in a single lump sum payment. In addition, payments will continue to be paid for the rest of the participant’s life, even if the guaranteed lump sum value is exceeded.

Social Security equalization.This option allows a participant who retires early to receive an increased monthly payment from the Pension Plan until the participant is eligible for Social Security benefits. After Social Security benefits begin, the monthly payment from the Pension Plan is reduced. This option does not provide any survivor benefits and, therefore, no benefit is payable after death.

Lump Sum Payments. A participant may elect to receive their retirement benefit in a single lump sum calculated to be the actuarial equivalent value of the life-only annuity they would receive at age 65 or a deferred retirement date. If qualified for early retirement, the lump sum will be equal to the actuarial equivalent value of the life-only annuity, determined after application of the Early Retirement Factors described above, or the lump sum value of the age-65 pension, if greater.

Supplemental Pension Plan

Our Supplemental Pension Plan is a non-qualified defined benefit plan. Certain U.S.-based management and highly paid associates who are participants in our qualified Pension Plan, including our U.S.-based Named Executive Officers, are eligible for benefits under our Supplemental Pension Plan. This plan was created to provide deferred compensation to highly compensated individuals in an effort to promote continuity of management and increased incentive and personal interest in the welfare of PVH on the part of those who are or may become primarily responsible for shaping and carrying out our long-range plans and securing our continued growth and financial success.

Our Supplemental Pension Plan is designed to work in conjunction with our Pension Plan. The pension benefit outlined in our Pension Plan is calculated as if there were no compensation limits under the Code. The maximum benefit allowable is paid out under the Pension Plan and the balance is paid out under the Supplemental Pension Plan.

A participant in our Supplemental Pension Plan will not have any vested interest in such portion of any benefit that accrues on or after January 1, 2007, unless the sum of the participant’s attained age and credited vesting years equals or exceeds 65 and, while employed by us, the participant has reached age 50 and has completed at least ten credited vesting years. Five credited vesting years is required for any benefit that accrues prior to January 1, 2007.

As part of the enrollment process, a participant may elect for benefits to be paid following termination in one of the following four ways:


in a lump sum within 60 days of termination of employment;

in a lump sum deferred until January 1 of the year following termination of employment;

in five equal annual installments commencing January of the year following termination of employment; or

in ten equal annual installments commencing January of the year following termination of employment, (applicable for benefit accruals from January 1, 2019, forward).

in a lump sum within 60 days of termination of employment;
in a lump sum deferred until January 1 of the year following termination of employment;
in five equal annual installments commencing in January of the year following termination of employment; or
in ten equal annual installments commencing in January of the year following termination of employment (applicable for benefit accruals beginning January 1, 2019).

Participants may change their benefit payment elections any time up to one year before the then-scheduled distribution date. In addition, for benefits that accrue on or after January 1, 2005, the new election must extend the commencement date of the benefit payment by at least five years from the then-scheduled distribution date.

Benefits under our Supplemental Pension Plan are unsecured and generally are payable from our general assets. Payments will be delayed if and to the extent that payment within six months of the termination of employment willwould result in the imposition of additional taxes on the participant pursuant to Section 409A of the Code. Payments delayed underpursuant to Section 409A will accrue interest during the deferral period at the 10-year Treasury bill rate in effect on the first business day of the plan year in which the delayed payment period commences.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION TABLES NON-QUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION

Capital Accumulation Program

Our capital accumulation program is a non-qualified defined benefit program that was created to retain a select group of senior executives. Under the program, participants are party to individual agreements under which participants who remain in our employ for a period of ten years from the date of their agreement are entitled to receive payments equaling a specified benefit after the termination of their employment. The benefit vests over a five-year period, commencing on the fifth anniversary of the execution of

Executive Compensation Tables Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation
the agreement. Interest accrues on the benefit amount once it is fully vested and the participant has reached age 55. Interest is compounded annually and is equal to the average of the 10-year Treasury bill rate on the first day of each month until payment commences. The vested portion of the benefit (including any accrued interest) generally is paid in semi-monthly installments over a 10-year period commencing after the participant reaches age 65.

The agreements provide that if a participant’s employment is terminated following a change in control (as defined), the full undiscounted value of the future payments to be made to the participant under the program become immediately payable in a lump sum. The benefits under the agreements are forfeited upon a termination of a participant’s employment for cause. Each participant’s rights are subject to non-competition and non-disclosure restrictions that automatically terminate upon a change in control of PVH.

The plan is available to associates with a minimum base salary of $150,000 who are eligible for and participate in our AIP, including all of our U.S.-based Named Executive Officers.

Participants may elect a deferral rate of up to 25% (75% effective75% (25% prior to January 1, 2019) of base pay for their contributions. Deferrals are directed first to a participant’s AIP account up to the maximum amount of eligible pay available under the law. Effective January 1, 2019, SSP contributions for the year willdo not begin until the maximum permitted contributions have been made under the AIP.401(k) plan. Eligible pay under our Supplemental Savings Plan includes all categories of pay eligible under the AIP,401(k) plan, as well as payouts under our Performance Incentive Bonus Plan.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION TABLES Executive Compensation TablesPOTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION AND CHANGE IN CONTROL PROVISIONS
Potential Payments Upon Termination and Change in Control Provisions

Our Supplemental Savings Plan is an unfunded plan. Participant contributions and our matching contributions are not invested in actual securities or maintained in an independent trust for the exclusive benefit of plan participants. Instead, for technical and tax reasons, contributions to our Supplemental Savings Plan are retained as part of our general assets — a common corporate practice. Therefore, benefits are dependent on our ability to pay them when they become due.

Participant contributions, as well as our matching contributions for the NEOs, are measured against the 10-year Treasury bill. These contributions accrue interest based on the rate of return for 10-year Treasury bills, as established on January 1 of each calendar year.

A participant’s before-tax contributions in our Supplemental Savings Plan are immediately fully vested. Our matching contributions vest ratably from the second through the fifth year of employment or, if earlier, when the participant reaches age 65, dies, or becomes totally and permanently disabled.

As part of the enrollment process, participants can elect to have their vested amount under the Supplemental Savings Plan be distributed following termination in one of the following four ways:


in a lump sum within 30 days of termination of employment;

in a lump sum deferred until January 1 of the year following termination of employment;

in five equal annual installments commencing January of the year following termination of employment; or

in ten equal annual installments commencing January of the year following termination of employment.

in a lump sum within 30 days of termination of employment;
in a lump sum deferred until January 1 of the year following termination of employment;
in five equal annual installments commencing in January of the year following termination of employment; or
in ten equal annual installments commencing in January of the year following termination of employment (applicable for contributions made beginning January 1, 2019).

Payments will be delayed if and to the extent that payment within six months of the termination of employment willwould result in the imposition of additional taxes on the participant pursuant to Section 409A of the Code. Payments delayed underpursuant to Section 409A will accrue interest during the deferral period at a rate per annum equal to the 10-year Treasury bill rate in effect on the first day of the plan year in which the deferral begins, or, if the deferral period extends beyond the close of the plan year, the interest rate for the remainder of the deferral period will equal the 10-year Treasury bill rate on the first day of the following plan year.

In the event of a change in control with no termination of employment, the NEO would be entitled to all amounts (if any) set forth in this column, except for the amounts set forth on the rows entitled Severance value and Welfare benefits value.
2
Severance is calculated in accordance with the applicable NEO’s employment agreement. For each NEO, other than Mr. Grieder and Mr. Duane, for termination without cause or for good reason, severance value is equal to a multiple of the sum of the NEO’s base salary plus an amount equal to the bonus that would be payable if target level performance were achieved. For Mr. Duane, for termination without cause or for good reason, severance value is equal to the sum of  (i) his base salary through the end of his employment period; (ii) the bonus that would be payable if target level performance were achieved through the end of his employment period; and (iii) $400,000 in lieu of any annual PSU award that has not yet been made through the end of his employment agreement. For Mr. Grieder, for termination without cause or for good reason, severance value is equal to (i) the greater of his base salary for 12 months and (ii) the statutory severance amount provided under Dutch law. Additionally, for termination without cause or for good reason, Mr. Grieder would receive a pro rata payout of any bonus award granted with respect to the performance cycle during which notice of termination is given, based on the actual performance level achieved for the entire cycle. If Mr. Grieder voluntarily resigns without good reason, he is entitled to receive his base salary for six months. See pages 5558 for applicable multiples and further detail.

1In the event of a change in control with no termination of employment in which the equity awards are not assumed by the acquirer, the NEO would be entitled to all amounts (if any) set forth in this column, except for the amounts set forth on the rows entitled Severance value and Welfare benefits value. In the event of a change in control with no termination of employment in which equity awards are assumed by the acquirer, the NEO would not be entitled to receive any of the amounts set forth in this column.
2Severance is calculated in accordance with the applicable NEO’s employment agreement and for termination without cause or for good reason, is equal to a multiple of the sum of the NEO’s base salary plus an amount equal to the bonus that would be payable if target level performance were achieved. The target amounts included reflect the 50% reduction in bonus target percentages in 2020. Additionally, if Mr. Hagman voluntarily resigns, he is entitled to receive his base salary for 12 months. In the event of his disability, Mr. Hagman is entitled to receive statutory payments under Dutch law. See pages 68-69 for applicable multiples and further detail. Mr. Chirico entered into a transition agreement with us, dated January 31, 2021, and effective February 1, 2021, that superseded his employment agreement. If we terminate Mr. Chirico’s employment without cause after January 31, 2021 and prior to December 31, 2021, then he will be entitled to the remaining payments of base salary under the transition agreement through December 31, 2021. See page 68.
3A participant generally must be employed by PVH on the last day of the applicable performance cycle to remain eligible to receive a bonus under our Performance Incentive Bonus Plan. Therefore, if a termination of employment or change in control had occurred on January 31, 2021, each NEO would have been entitled to receive his or her actual bonus and the termination event or change in control would not have triggered a payment.
4No NEOs held Long-Term Incentive Plan awards in 2020.

Therefore, if a termination of employment or change in control had occurred on February 3, 2019, each NEO would have been entitled to receive his actual bonus and the termination event or change in control would not have triggered a payment.

GRIP awards under our Long-Term Incentive Plan were granted to Messrs. Duane, Grieder and Shiffman in 2017. In the event of death or a change in control, the amounts are based on the amounts that would otherwise have been payable if the target level of performance had been achieved. In the event of disability or termination without cause or for good reason, the amounts will be paid based on actual performance. However, as actual performance is not yet known, the amounts are shown at the target level. In the event of death, disability and termination without cause or for good reason, the amounts payable are prorated 67%, representing the portion of the relevant performance cycle actually worked by each NEO as of February 3, 2019.

Represents the value of unexercisable “in the money” stock options outstanding as of February 3, 2019, the vesting of which would accelerate upon death, a change in control or retirement. The value is equal to the difference between the closing price of our common stock on February 1, 2019, the last business day of 2018, and the per share exercise price of each stock option that would become exercisable, multiplied by the number of shares of our common stock receivable upon exercise.
6
Represents the value of unvested restricted stock units as of February 3, 2019, the vesting of which would accelerate upon death, a change in control or retirement other than the RSUs granted to Mr. Duane in 2018. For Mr. Duane’s 2018 RSU award, in the event of voluntary termination or retirement, one-third of the award will vest and, in the event of termination without cause or for good reason, the award will vest in full. The value is equal to the closing price of our common stock on February 1, 2019, the last business day of 2018, multiplied by the number of shares of our common stock receivable upon vesting.
7
Represents the payout levels (discussed below) of the unvested PSUs as of February 3, 2019, multiplied by the closing price of our common stock on February 1, 2019, the last business day of 2018. In the event of death or a change in control, the amounts are shown based on the amounts that would otherwise have been payable for the performance cycle if the target level of performance had been achieved. In the event of disability or termination without cause or for good reason, the amounts are shown based on actual performance as of February 3, 2019, as the actual performance for the entire performance period was not known as of February 3, 2019. In the event of death, disability, termination without cause or for good reason, and change in control, the amounts payable in respect of the PSU awards granted during 2016, 2017 and 2018 are prorated 92%, 58% and 25%, respectively, representing the portion of the relevant performance cycle actually worked by our NEOs as of February 3, 2019.
8
Messrs. Chirico and Duane are our only Named Executive Officers who are parties to agreements with us under our capital accumulation program. See discussion on pages 6667. All benefits, other than the payment to be made in connection with a change in control, are paid monthly over a 10-year period. The payouts shown include, where applicable, the interest that participants receive on the vested portion of their benefit for the period after the date on which they are scheduled to fully vest until payment. For Messrs. Chirico and Duane, interest is assumed to accrue at the average 10-year Treasury bill rate applicable under their agreements. The total value of the 120 payments is discounted to present value using a rate of 4.35%.

The capital accumulation program agreements do not specifically provide for payment upon retirement or disability. The amounts shown in the retirement and disability columns represent the amounts payable, if any, upon voluntary termination of employment.

We do not have any obligation to make payments to Messrs. Chirico or Duane in the event employment terminates for cause. The amounts shown in the Termination Without Cause or for Good Reason Upon Change in Control column represent a lump sum payment for the full benefit for each of Messrs. Chirico and Duane.

Payments will be delayed if and to the extent payment within six months of the termination of employment will result in the imposition of additional taxes on the participant pursuant to Section 409A of the Code. Payments delayed due to the regulations promulgated under Section 409A will accrue interest during the deferral period at a rate equal to the average of the 10-year Treasury bill rates in effect on the first day of each calendar month during the delay period.

In addition, if Mr. Chirico had terminated for any reason other than death or for cause, such termination would have been treated as his retirement. Therefore, Mr. Chirico’s unvested PSU awards would have been subject to accelerated vesting under voluntary termination and termination without cause or for good reason.
8Mr. Chirico is the only Named Executive Officer who is party to an agreement with us under our capital accumulation program. See discussion on page 79. All benefits, other than the payment to be made in connection with a change in control, are paid monthly over a 10-year period. The payout shown includes the interest that Mr. Chirico would receive on the vested portion of his benefit for the period. Interest is assumed to begin accruing on the date (May 8, 2012) that he turned 55 and continues to accrue until payment. Interest is assumed to accrue at the average 10-year Treasury bill rate applicable under his agreement. The total value shown of the 120 payments is discounted to a present value using a rate of 3.04%.

Payments will be delayed if and to the extent payment within six months of the termination of employment would result in the imposition of additional taxes on the participant pursuant to Section 409A of the Code. Payments delayed pursuant to Section 409A will accrue interest during the deferral period at a rate per annum, equal to the average of the 10-year Treasury bill rate in effect on the first day of each calendar month during the delay period.
9The amounts shown represent the cost of welfare benefits, including medical, dental, life and disability coverage, that our NEOs would have received under their employment agreements if their employment had been terminated without cause or for good reason on January 31, 2021. Such benefits are not receivable if their employment is terminated for any other reason. Those benefits would continue for two years for Mr. Chirico, Mr. Larsson and Ms. Abel-Hodges and one and one half years for Mr. Shaffer, other than if the termination occurred within two years after a change in control. Those benefits would continue for three years for Mr. Chirico and two years for Ms. Abel-Hodges and Messrs. Shaffer and Larsson, if the termination occurred within two years after a change in control.
10If any of our U.S.-based NEOs would become subject to the Federal excise tax on excess parachute payments under Section 4999 of the Code because of the amount of the executive’s termination payments under a change in control, then such termination payments will be reduced as necessary to maximize each NEO’s respective after-tax termination payout. It is projected that only Ms. Abel-Hodges would have had such a payment reduction if a termination upon a change in control had occurred on January 31, 2021.
11Potential severance payments upon termination for Mr. Hagman have been translated at the euro-to-U.S. dollar exchange rate of 1.2136, which was the closing rate on January 29, 2021, the last business day of 2020.

The amounts shown represent the cost of welfare benefits, including medical, dental, life and disability coverage, that our NEOs would have received under their employment agreements if their employment had been terminated without cause or for good reason on February 3, 2019. Such benefits are not receivable if their employment is terminated for any other reason. Those benefits would continue for Mr. Duane through the end of his contract term. Those benefits would continue for two years for Mr. Chirico, one and one-half years for Mr. Shaffer, and one year for Mr. Shiffman, other than if the termination occurred within two years after a change in control, in which case benefits would continue for three years for Mr. Chirico and two years for Messrs. Shaffer and Shiffman.

If any of our U.S.-based NEOs would become subject to the Federal excise tax on excess parachute payments under Section 4999 of the Code as a result of the amount of his termination payments under a change in control, then such termination payments would be reduced as necessary to maximize each NEO’s respective after-tax termination payout. It is projected that none of our NEOs would have been subject to such excise taxes if they had been terminated following a change in control as of February 3, 2019.

Potential severance and incentive payments upon termination for Mr. Grieder have been translated at the euro-to-U.S. dollar exchange rate of 1.1471, which was the closing rate on February 1, 2019, the last business day of 2018.

CEO Pay Ratio

We are required to provide the ratio for the annual total compensation paid to Mr. Chirico, ourthe Chief Executive Officer in 2020, to the annual total compensation of our median associate, excluding Mr. Chirico’s compensation. SEC rules permit us to use the same median associate identified in our pay ratio disclosure for 2017,2019, subject to certain exceptions. In our case, the median associate had a significant change in circumstance and, as a result, we determined that it is not appropriate to use the same associate for this year’s disclosure. We did not otherwise have a significant change in our associate population or compensation arrangements.

We selected November 5, 20182020 as the determination date for identifying our median associate. As of that date, we had 37,26834,855 associates, with 17,25314,001 associates based in the United States and 20,01520,854 associates located outside of the United States. Of these associates, 9,582approximately 25% worked in or were assigned to offices, 25,493approximately 67% worked in retail stores and 2,193approximately 8% worked in warehousing and distribution facilities. Approximately 44%42% of our workforce is part-time. Our use of seasonal workers is not significant to our overall population and is largelywas particularly limited toin 2020 as a result of the Christmas and Lunar (Chinese) New Year selling periods.COVID-19 pandemic. We do not use a significant number of temporary associates.

Methodology

METHODOLOGY

The methodology and the material assumptions, adjustments and estimates that we used to identify the median of the annual total compensation of all our associates, as well as to determine the annual total compensation of the median associate for purposes of this disclosure were as follows:


We identified the median associate by using the actual earnings of our full-time, part-time, seasonal and temporary associates, which consisted of base pay, overtime, compensation and bonus, as compiled from our payroll records.
 – 
We measured associate earnings using the one-year period ended October 31, 2018.
 – 
Compensation paid in foreign currencies was converted to U.S. dollars using the foreign exchange rate monthly average for October 2018.

The pay ratio disclosure rules provide a de minimis exemption that allows for the exclusion of non-U.S. associates constituting less than 5% of our total associate population from the calculation.
 – 
Specifically, we excluded all 660 associates in Brazil, 83 associates in Malaysia, 442 associates in Poland, 324 associates in Russia and 295 associates in Turkey who were employed on November 5, 2018.
 – 
After applying this exemption, 17,253 associates in the United States and 18,211 outside of the United States were considered to identify the median associate.
Calculation

We identified the median associate by using the actual earnings of our full-time, part-time, seasonal and temporary associates, which consisted of cash compensation, as compiled from our payroll records.
We measured associate earnings using the one-year period ended October 31, 2020.
Compensation paid in foreign currencies was converted to U.S. dollars using the foreign exchange rate monthly average for December 2020.
The pay ratio disclosure rules provide a de minimis exemption that allows for the exclusion of non-U.S. associates constituting less than 5% of our total associate population from the calculation.

Specifically, we excluded all 533 associates in Brazil, 439 associates in Poland, 425 associates in Russia and 336 associates in Turkey who were employed on November 5, 2020.
After applying this exemption, 14,001 associates in the United States and 19,121 outside of the United States were considered to identify the median associate.

CALCULATION

We determined that our median associate was a part-time,full-time, hourly retail store lead cashiersales associate who works in Suffolk County,Woodbury, New York, United States. The 20182020 annual total compensation for our median associate was $18,089.$22,337. The 2018retail store where the median associate worked in Woodbury, NY was closed for the period March 17, 2020 through June 7, 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The median associate continued to receive compensation although that individual did not provide any services for the period March 16, 2020 through April 12, 2020. The median associate was subsequently on unpaid furlough for the period from April 13, 2020 to June 7, 2020 and did not receive any compensation from the company but was eligible to receive unemployment benefits from the government during this period; the median associate was, however, on the company’s medical plan and the company did pay the employer and employee costs for this medical benefit during this period of unpaid furlough. The 2020 annual total compensation as determined under Item 402 of Regulation S-K for our CEO was $17,065,604.$16,408,935. Mr. Chirico did not receive any salary for the period from April 16, 2020 to July 15, 2020. The estimated ratio of our CEO’s annual total compensation to our median associate’s total compensation for fiscal year 20182020 is 943735 to 1.

Equity Compensation Plan Information

TABLE OF CONTENTS

PROPOSAL 3
AmendmentEquity Compensation Plan Information

The following table provides information as of January 31, 2021 with respect to Our Certificate of Incorporation to Eliminate the Supermajority Voting Requirement for Certain Transactions

Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that certain transactions between PVH and a beneficial owner of more than 5%shares of our common stock (a “5% Stockholder”) mustthat may be approved by a vote of 80% of our outstanding common stock unless (i) the transaction is approved by the Board of Directors before such person became a 5% Stockholder or (ii) we beneficially own a majority of the outstanding stock entitled to vote in elections of directors of such 5% Stockholder. The transactions covered by the provision are certain business combinations, transfers of our assets and issuances of our securities.
The proposed amendment eliminates that provision from our Certificate of Incorporation.
After a review of governance practices and current protections offered by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Board has determined that eliminating this supermajority voting provision is appropriate for three reasons. First, it is considered by many governance commentators, stockholder rights advocates and stockholders to be a best practice in corporate governance not to have supermajority voting requirements. Second, the provision does not provide a substantive enhancement to our takeover defense profile. Third, we will continue to be subject to, and benefit from, Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which provides protections similar to those that the provision provides.
[MISSING IMAGE: ico_lgtick-white.gif]

Amendment to Our Certificate of Incorporation to Eliminate the Supermajority Voting Requirement for By-Law Amendments
Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that our By-Laws may not be adopted, altered, amended, changed or repealedplan was approved by our stockholders exceptand we have no equity compensation plans that were not approved by the affirmative vote of not less than 80% of our outstanding stock entitled to vote in the election of directors. The ability of stockholders to amend our By-Laws is separate from the ability of the Board of Directors to amend our By-Laws, which does not require stockholder approval.
The proposed amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation would reduce the voting requirement for stockholders to amend the By-Laws to a majority vote of our outstanding stock entitled to vote in the election of directors. As noted in the previous proposal, it is considered by many governance commentators, stockholder rights advocates and stockholders to be a best practice in corporate governance not to have supermajority voting requirements. Further, the provision serves no purpose to protect the interests of PVH or our stockholders.
If stockholders approve this proposal, we will file an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware incorporating this amendment, which amends what is currently Article Seventh of our Certificate of Incorporation. We also will amend our By-Laws to conform to this amendment. The proposed Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is attached as Exhibit C to this Proxy Statement. The changes to what Exhibit C shows as new Article Sixth are the changes to be made if this proposal is approved.

Audit Committee Report

Audit Committee Report

PVH management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process, including the system of internal controls. The independent auditors audit the financial statements and express an opinion on the financial statements based on their audit. The Audit & Risk Management Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the independent auditors, and reviews PVH’s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board of Directors.

The Audit & Risk Management Committee, in evaluating and selecting the independent auditors, considers, among other things, external data on the audit quality of the audit firm, including recent Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) reports; the audit firm’s industry experience, capabilities, and approach in handling the breadth and complexity of PVH’s global operations; the quality and consistency of the audit firm’s personnel and communication; the appropriateness of the audit firm’s fees; and the independence and objectivity of the audit firm.

As part of its oversight of PVH’s financial statements and reporting process, the Committee has met and held discussions with management, internal auditing staff and Ernst & Young LLP, the independent auditors. Management represented to the Committee that the consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and the Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited consolidated financial statements with management and the independent auditors. The Committee discussed with the independent auditors matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 1301, Communications with Audit Committees.

and the SEC.

In addition, the Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent auditors required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent auditors’ communications with the Committee concerning independence, and has discussed with the independent auditors the auditors’ independence from PVH and PVH management. The Committee also has considered whether the independent auditors’ provision of non-audit services to PVH is compatible with the auditors’ independence.

The Committee discussed with the internal and independent auditors the overall scope and plans for their respective audits. It meets with the internal and independent auditors, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their examinations, the evaluations of PVH’s internal controls, and the overall quality of PVH’s financial reporting.

In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Committee recommended to the Board the inclusion of the audited consolidated financial statements in PVH’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 3, 2019,January 31, 2021, as filed with the SEC. The Committee also has recommended stockholder ratification of the selection of the independent auditors.

The members of the Committee reviewed and met with management and the independent auditors on a quarterly basis to discuss PVH’s earnings releases and, as applicable, itsPVH’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Committee also reviews and meets, when needed, in conjunction with earnings guidance issued other than in quarterly earnings releases.
