On November 11, 2015, the Board of Directors of Target Corporation elected Melanie Healey as a director.

The Board has not made a determination regarding any committee assignments for Ms. Healey.

 

Ms. Healey received a one-time grant of RSUs with a $50,000 grant date fair value and will receive the annual compensation we provide to non-employee directors described in our most recent proxy statement under the heading “Director Compensation.”

On November 11, 2015, the Board of Directors of Target Corporation amended and restated Target’s Bylaws (the “Restated Bylaws”) to implement a proxy access bylaw. Section 2.10 of the Restated Bylaws permits a shareholder, or a group of up to 20 shareholders, owning 3% or more of Target’s outstanding stock continuously for at least three years, to nominate and include in Target’s proxy materials director nominees constituting up to the greater of 20% of the Board of Directors or at least two directors, provided that such shareholder(s) and nominee(s) satisfy the requirements set forth in the Restated Bylaws. The Restated Bylaws also make certain clarifications and updates to Sections 1.07, 2.09 and 2.11 to accommodate the proxy access bylaw.

 

The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Restated Bylaws, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit (3)A hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
