2009 Annual Meeting Logistics |
Dear Mr. Baer:
Target has set the location of its May 28, 2009 Annual Meeting of Shareholders at 250 West
Sunset Drive, Waukesha, Wisconsin. This is a store that is under construction, as evidenced by the
attached photographs which include a banner indicating that the store will not open until July 26,
2009.
Target may have held previous meetings at new stores; however, as this site is still under
construction we would appreciate your assurance that we will be given reasonable, adequate and
uninterrupted access to phone lines, internet access and office space. We, like you, should have
an equal opportunity to process last-minute proxies that are properly submitted before the polls
close at the meeting. All parties should ensure that each shareholder vote is counted.
At your earliest convenience, please confirm that you will comply with this request.

Very truly yours,
