To: All Target Team Members Worldwide

 

In less than four weeks, on May 28, Target will host its 2009 Annual Shareholders’ Meeting. As you likely know, Bill Ackman of Pershing Square has launched the first proxy contest in Target’s history in an attempt to replace four of our current directors with his own slate of candidates.

 

Target shareholders, including team member shareholders, have a choice between Target’s independent nominees with significant experience in Target’s retail and credit card businesses or the nominees personally selected by Bill Ackman.

 

As a Target team member, you can help support your company in the following ways:

·                  If you are a shareholder of Target, I urge you to vote for Target’s independent nominees – Mary Dillon, Richard Kovacevich, George Tamke and Sol Trujillo – by promptly following the instructions on the WHITE proxy card you received in the mail. Please do not vote any gold proxy cards you receive – for any reason. Keep in mind that only your last dated proxy card counts.

·                  Please remain focused on your role of delivering outstanding value, continuous innovation and a superior guest experience by consistently fulfilling our “Expect More. Pay Less” brand promise. Through our collective efforts, we will make Target an even stronger, more agile company

 

Thank you for your continued commitment. You play a critical part in our ability to drive profitable growth and generate long-term value for all shareholders. Your vote is important in this election; we urge you to vote today using the WHITE proxy card so that your voice is heard on May 28.

 

If you have questions, need a replacement proxy card or would like further assistance voting your Target shares, please email investorrelations@target.com or contact either of our proxy solicitors:

	MacKenzie Partners, Inc.	OR	Georgeson
