Roxanne S. Austin, a current member of Target&#146;s board of directors, has been appointed as interim non-executive chair of the board. Both will serve in their roles until permanent replacements are named. We have asked Gregg Steinhafel to serve in an advisory capacity during this transition and he has graciously agreed.</font></p>

We believe his passion for the team and relentless focus on the guest have established Target as a leader in the retail industry.&#160; Gregg has created a culture that fosters innovation and supports the development of new ideas. Under his leadership, the company has not only enhanced its ability to execute, but has broadened its strategic horizons. He also led the company through unprecedented challenges, navigating the financial recession, reacting to challenges with Target&#146;s expansion into Canada, and successfully defending the company through a high-profile proxy battle.</p>

We are grateful to him for his tireless leadership and will always consider him a member of the Target family.</font></p>
