The home improvement retailer follows others doing the same, including Disney, Starbucks and Walmart.

Existing bonuses at Home Depot Inc. will be paid out as well.

The Atlanta company anticipates an approximately $150 million fourth-quarter charge mostly tied to taxes on unremitted offshore earnings. It expects the charge, plus the one-time bonus, to trim its fiscal 2017 earnings outlook by about 19 cents per share.
