Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

1. Accounting Policies

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statement disclosures in our 2013 Form 10-K.  We use the same accounting policies in preparing quarterly and annual financial statements.  All adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of quarterly operating results are reflected herein and are of a normal, recurring nature.

Due to the seasonal nature of our business, quarterly revenues, expenses, earnings and cash flows are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

2. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value measurements are reported in one of three levels based on the lowest level of significant input used: Level 1 (unadjusted quoted prices in active markets); Level 2 (observable market inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1); and Level 3 (unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data).

Fair Value Measurements - Recurring Basis
	Fair Value at						Fair Value at						Fair Value at
	August 2, 2014						February 1, 2014						August 3, 2013

^(a) See Note 7 for additional information on interest rate swaps.

^(b) Note 3 includes a rollforward of the Level 3 beneficial interest asset. A one percentage point change in the forecasted credit EBIT yield would impact our fair value estimate by approximately $14 million. A one percentage point change in the forecasted discount rate would impact our fair value estimate by approximately $3 million.

^(c)Company-owned life insurance investments consist of equity index funds and fixed income assets. Amounts are presented net of nonrecourse loans that are secured by some of these policies. These loan amounts totaled $806 million at August 2, 2014, $790 million at February 1, 2014 and $787 million at August 3, 2013.

Debt (b)	$	12,135	$	13,553	$	11,758	$	13,184	$	12,484	$	14,018

^(a) The carrying amounts of accounts payable and certain accrued and other current liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.

^(b) The carrying amount and estimated fair value of debt exclude unamortized swap valuation adjustments and capital lease obligations.

3. Credit Card Receivables Transaction

In March 2013, we sold our entire U.S. consumer credit card portfolio to TD Bank Group (TD) and recognized a gain of $391 million. This transaction was accounted for as a sale, and the receivables are no longer reported in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. Consideration received included cash of $5.7 billion, equal to the gross (par) value of the outstanding receivables at the time of closing, and a $225 million beneficial interest asset.  Concurrent with the sale, we repaid the nonrecourse debt collateralized by credit card receivables (2006/2007 Series Variable Funding Certificate) at par of $1.5 billion, resulting in net cash proceeds of $4.2 billion.

TD now underwrites, funds and owns Target Credit Card and Target Visa consumer receivables in the U.S. TD controls risk management policies and oversees regulatory compliance, and we perform account servicing and primary marketing functions. We earn a substantial portion of the profits generated by the Target Credit Card and Target Visa portfolios. We classify this profit-sharing income in SG&A expense in the U.S. Segment.

Profit-Sharing Arrangement	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
(millions)	August 2, 2014			August 3, 2013			August 2, 2014			August 3, 2013 (a)
Profit-sharing included in U.S. Segment EBIT	$	167		$	183		$	334		$	288
Reduction of beneficial interest asset (b)	(11		)	(29		)	(29		)	(45		)
Net impact to SG&A expense	$	156		$	154		$	305		$	243

^(a) The U.S. Segment also earned credit card revenue prior to the close of the transaction.

^(b) On a consolidated basis, profit-sharing income is offset by reductions of the beneficial interest asset.

The $225 million beneficial interest asset effectively represents a receivable for the present value of future profit-sharing we expect to receive on the receivables sold. Profit-sharing payments reduced the beneficial interest asset by $19 million and $39 million during the three and six months ended August 2, 2014, respectively, and $31 million and $45 million during the three and six months ended August 3, 2013. Revaluation adjustments increased the asset by $8 million and $10 million during the three and six months ended August 2, 2014, respectively, and increased the asset by $2 million during the three months ended August 3, 2013. There was no net revaluation adjustment for the six months ended August 3, 2013. As of August 2, 2014 and August 3, 2013, a beneficial interest asset of $98 million and $180 million, respectively, remains and is recorded within other current assets and other noncurrent assets in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. 

4. Notes Payable and Long-Term Debt

We obtain short-term financing from time to time under our commercial paper program, a form of notes payable.

Commercial Paper	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
(dollars in millions)	August 2, 2014			August 3, 2013			August 2, 2014			August 3, 2013
Maximum daily amount outstanding during the period	$	500		$	920		$	590		$	1,465
Average daily amount outstanding during the period	148			301			214			394
Amount outstanding at period-end	189			807			189			807
Weighted average interest rate	0.11		%	0.19		%	0.10		%	0.14		%

7

In June 2014, we issued $1 billion of unsecured fixed rate debt at 2.3% that matures in June 2019 and $1 billion of unsecured fixed rate debt at 3.5% that matures in July 2024. We used proceeds from these issuances to repurchase $725 million of debt at a market value of $1 billion and for general corporate purposes, including the payment of $1 billion of debt maturities. We recognized a loss of $285 million on the early retirement, which was recorded in net interest expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Concurrent with the sale of our credit card receivables portfolio in March 2013, we repaid $1.5 billion of nonrecourse debt collateralized by credit card receivables (the 2006/2007 Series Variable Funding Certificate). We also used $1.4 billion of proceeds from the transaction to repurchase at market value an additional $970 million of debt during the first quarter of 2013. We recognized a loss on this early retirement of $445 million, which was recorded in net interest expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Refer to Note 3 for more information on our credit card receivables transaction.

5. Property and Equipment

We review long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances, such as a decision to relocate or close a store, make significant software changes or discontinue projects, indicate that the asset's carrying value may not be recoverable. For the three and six months ended August 2, 2014 and August 3, 2013, we recorded impairments primarily from decisions to discontinue projects and completed or planned land sales and store closures.

Impairments by Segment (a)	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
(millions)	August 2, 2014		August 3, 2013		August 2, 2014		August 3, 2013
U.S.	$	46	$	15	$	59	$	25

Total impairments	$	64	$	15	$	77	$	25

^(a) Substantially all of the impairments are recorded in selling, general and administrative expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

^(b) Represents impairments of undeveloped land.

6. Data Breach

In the fourth quarter of 2013, we experienced a data breach in which an intruder stole certain payment card and other guest information from our network (the Data Breach). Based on our investigation to date, we believe that the intruder installed malware on our point-of-sale system in our U.S. stores and stole payment card data from up to approximately 40 million credit and debit card accounts of guests who shopped at our U.S. stores between November 27 and December 17, 2013. In addition, the intruder stole certain guest information, including names, mailing addresses, phone numbers or email addresses, for up to 70 million individuals.

Payment Card Network Loss Contingencies

In the event of a data breach where payment card data is or may have been stolen, the payment card networks’ contracts purport to give them the ability to make claims for reimbursement of incremental counterfeit fraud losses and non-ordinary course operating expenses (such as card reissuance costs) that the payment card networks believe they or their issuing banks have incurred as a result of the event. For us to have liability for such claims, we believe that a court would have to find that, among other things, (1) at the time of the Data Breach the portion of our network that handles payment card data was noncompliant with applicable data security standards in a manner that contributed to the Data Breach, and (2) the network operating rules around reimbursement of operating costs and counterfeit fraud losses are enforceable. While an independent third-party assessor found the portion of our network that handles payment card data to be compliant with applicable data security standards in the fall of 2013, the forensic investigator working on behalf of the payment card networks claimed in first quarter 2014 that we were not in compliance with those standards at the time of the Data Breach.

During the second quarter of 2014, payment card networks composing a substantial portion of impacted payment cards made preliminary written or oral claims against us. We believe it is probable that the remaining payment card networks will also make claims against us. We expect to dispute the claims that have been or may be made against us, and we think it is probable that our disputes would lead to settlement negotiations consistent with the experience of other entities that suffered similar payment card

8

breaches. We believe such negotiations would effect a combined settlement of the payment card networks' counterfeit fraud loss allegations and their non-ordinary course operating expense allegations. Our accruals for estimated probable loss discussed below include what we believe to be the vast majority of both actual and potential claims from the payment card networks.

Litigation and Governmental Investigations

In addition, more than 100 actions have been filed in courts in many states, along with one action in Canada, and other claims have been or may be asserted against us on behalf of guests, payment card issuing banks, shareholders or others seeking damages or other related relief allegedly arising out of the Data Breach. State and federal agencies, including the State Attorneys General, the Federal Trade Commission and the SEC, are investigating events related to the Data Breach, including how it occurred, its consequences and our responses. Our accruals for estimated probable loss discussed below include what we believe to be the vast majority of both actual and potential claims from these matters.

Expenses Incurred and Amounts Accrued

Data Breach Balance Sheet Rollforward (millions)	Liabilities			Insurance receivable
Balance at February 1, 2014	$	61		$	44
Expenses incurred/insurance receivable recorded (a)	26			8
Payments made/received	(35		)	(13		)
Balance at May 3, 2014	52			39
Expenses incurred/insurance receivable recorded (a)	148			38
Payments made/received	(19		)	(7		)
Balance at August 2, 2014	$	182		$	70

^(a) Includes expenditures and accruals for Data Breach-related costs and expected insurance recoveries as discussed below.

In the second quarter of 2014, we recorded $148 million of pretax Data Breach-related expenses and expected insurance proceeds of $38 million, for net expenses of $111 million. These expenses were included in our Consolidated Statements of Operations as Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A), but were not part of our segment results. Along with legal and other professional services, these expenses included an increase to the accrual for estimated probable losses for what we believe to be the vast majority of actual and potential breach-related claims, including claims by the payment card networks. Our probable loss estimate is based on the expectation of reaching negotiated settlements, and not on any determination that it is probable we would be found liable for the losses we have accrued were these claims to be litigated. Given the varying stages of claims and related proceedings, and the inherent uncertainty surrounding them, our estimates involve significant judgment and are based on currently available information, historical precedents and an assessment of the validity of certain claims. Our estimates may change as new information becomes available and, although we do not believe it is probable, it is reasonably possible that we may incur a material loss in excess of the amount accrued. We are not able to estimate the amount of such reasonably possible excess loss exposure at this time because many of the matters are in the early stages, alleged damages have not been specified, and there are significant factual and legal issues to be resolved. The accrual does not reflect future breach-related legal, consulting or administrative fees, which are expensed as incurred and not expected to be material to our consolidated financial statements in any individual period.

During the six months ended August 2, 2014, we recorded $175 million of Data Breach-related expenses, partially offset by expected insurance proceeds of $46 million, for net expenses of $129 million. Since the Data Breach, we have incurred $236 million of cumulative expenses, partially offset by expected insurance recoveries of $90 million, for net cumulative expenses of $146 million.

To limit our exposure to losses relating to data breach and other claims, we maintain $100 million of network-security insurance coverage, above a $10 million deductible and with a $50 million sublimit for settlements with the payment card networks. This coverage, and certain other customary business-insurance coverage, has reduced our exposure related to the Data Breach. We will pursue recoveries to the maximum extent available under the policies. As of August 2, 2014, we have received $20 million from our network-security insurance carriers.

7. Derivative Financial Instruments

Our derivative instruments primarily consist of interest rate swaps, which we use to mitigate interest rate risk. As a result of our use of derivative instruments, we have counterparty credit risk with large global financial institutions. We monitor this concentration of counterparty credit risk on an ongoing basis. See Note 2 for a description of the fair value measurement of our derivative instruments and their classification on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

In June 2014, we entered into two interest rate swaps, each with a notional amount of $500 million, under which we pay a variable rate and receive a fixed rate. In March 2014, we entered into an interest rate swap with a notional amount of $250 million, under which we pay a variable rate and receive a fixed rate. We designated these swaps as fair value hedges. As of August 3, 2013, one swap was designated as a fair value hedge. No ineffectiveness was recognized during the three or six months ended August 2, 2014 or August 3, 2013.

Periodic payments, valuation adjustments and amortization of gains or losses on our derivative contracts had the following effect on our Consolidated Statements of Operations:

Derivative Contracts - Effect on Results of Operations (millions)		Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
Type of Contract	Classification of (Income)/Expense	August 2, 2014			August 3, 2013			August 2, 2014			August 3, 2013
Interest rate swaps	Net interest expense	$	(9	)	$	(7	)	$	(13	)	$	(15	)

The amount remaining on unamortized hedged debt valuation gains from terminated or de-designated interest rate swaps that will be amortized into earnings over the remaining lives of the underlying debt totaled $43 million, $52 million and $63 million, at August 2, 2014, February 1, 2014 and August 3, 2013, respectively.

8. Share Repurchase

We repurchase shares primarily through open market transactions and the noncash settlement of prepaid forward contracts related to nonqualified deferred compensation plans under a $5 billion share repurchase program authorized by our Board of Directors in January 2012. No shares were repurchased through open market transactions during the three and six months ended August 2, 2014.

^(a) All of the shares reacquired were delivered upon the noncash settlement of prepaid forward contracts. These contracts had an original cash investment of $34 million and an aggregate market value at their settlement dates of $34.7 million. These contracts are among the investment vehicles used to reduce our economic exposure related to our nonqualified deferred compensation plans. Note 9 provides the details of our positions in prepaid forward contracts.

^(b)0.1 million and 0.2 million, respectively, of the shares repurchased were delivered upon the noncash settlement of prepaid forward contracts. These contracts had an original cash investment of $7 million and $14 million, and an aggregate market value at their respective settlement dates of $8 million and $17 million. Note 9 provides the details of our positions in prepaid forward contracts.

9. Pension, Postretirement Health Care and Other Benefits

Pension and Postretirement Health Care Benefits

We provide qualified defined benefit pension plans, unfunded nonqualified pension plans and certain postretirement health care benefits to eligible team members.

Other Benefits

We offer unfunded nonqualified deferred compensation plans to certain team members. We mitigate some of our risk of these plans through investing in vehicles, including company-owned life insurance and prepaid forward contracts in our own common stock, that offset a substantial portion of our economic exposure to the returns of these plans. These investment vehicles are general corporate assets and are marked to market with the related gains and losses recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period they occur.

The total change in fair value for contracts indexed to our own common stock recognized in earnings was pretax losses of $5 million and pretax income of $2 million for the three and six months ended August 2, 2014, respectively, and pretax income of $1 million and $12 million for the three and six months ended August 3, 2013. During the six months ended August 2, 2014 we made no investments in prepaid forward contracts in our own common stock. During the six months ended August 3, 2013, we invested $6 million in such investment instruments. Adjusting our position in these investment vehicles may involve repurchasing shares of Target common stock when settling the forward contracts as described in Note 8. The settlement dates of these instruments are regularly renegotiated with the counterparty.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Executive Summary

Second quarter 2014 includes the following notable items:

• GAAP earnings per share were $0.37.

• Adjusted earnings per share were $0.78.

• Digital sales grew more than 30 percent in the quarter.

• U.S. Segment transactions declined 1.3 percent, an improvement of one percentage point compared with the first quarter.

• Canadian Segment sales increased 63.1 percent to $449 million from $275 million last year.

• GAAP EPS includes a loss on early retirement of debt of $0.27.

• GAAP EPS includes an $0.11 impact of net expense for what we believe to be the vast majority of actual and potential claims related to the December, 2013 data breach.

• We paid dividends of $272 million, an increase of 18 percent from $231 million last year. In June, the Board of Directors increased the quarterly dividend from 43 cents to 52 cents per share, beginning with the dividend payable on September 10, 2014.

Sales were $17,406 million for the three months ended August 2, 2014, an increase of $289 million or 1.7 percent from the same period in the prior year. Cash flow provided by operations was $1,514 million and $4,109 million for the six months ended August 2, 2014 and August 3, 2013, respectively. Cash flow provided by operations for the six months ended August 3, 2013 included $2.7 billion of cash received in connection with the sale of our U.S. consumer credit card receivables.

Earnings Per Share	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	August 2, 2014		August 3, 2013		Change		August 2, 2014		August 3, 2013		Change
GAAP diluted earnings per share	$	0.37	$	0.95	(61.5	)%	$	1.02	$	1.72	(40.5	)%
Adjustments	0.41		0.03				0.46		0.07
Adjusted diluted earnings per share	$	0.78	$	0.98	(20.6	)%	$	1.48	$	1.79	(17.5	)%

Note: Amounts may not foot due to rounding. We have disclosed adjusted diluted earnings per share ("Adjusted EPS"), a non-GAAP metric, which excludes the impact of certain matters not related to our ongoing retail operations. Management believes that Adjusted EPS is meaningful to provide period-to-period comparisons of our operating results. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP measures is provided on page 21.

Data Breach

In the fourth quarter of 2013, we experienced a data breach in which an intruder stole certain payment card and other guest information from our network (the Data Breach). In the second quarter of 2014, we recorded $148 million of pretax Data Breach-related expenses and expected insurance proceeds of $38 million, for net expenses of $111 million. These expenses were included in our Consolidated Statements of Operations as Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A), but were not part of our segment results. Along with legal and other professional services, these expenses included an increase to the accrual for estimated probable losses for what we believe to be the vast majority of actual and potential breach-related claims, including claims by the payment card networks. Our probable loss estimate is based on the expectation of reaching negotiated settlements, and not on any determination that it is probable we would be found liable for the losses we have accrued were these claims to be litigated.

During the six months ended August 2, 2014, we recorded $175 million of Data Breach-related expenses, partially offset by expected insurance proceeds of $46 million, for net expenses of $129 million. Since the Data Breach, we have incurred $236 million of cumulative expenses, partially offset by expected insurance recoveries of $90 million, for net cumulative expenses of $146 million.

For more information about the Data Breach, see Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1, Financial Statements.

Comparable sales is a measure that highlights the performance of our existing stores and digital sales by measuring the change in sales for a period over the comparable, prior-year period of equivalent length. Digital sales include all sales initiated through mobile applications and our conventional websites, including those of acquired entities from the date of acquisition. Digital sales may be fulfilled through our distribution centers or our stores. Comparable sales measures vary across the retail industry. As a result, our comparable sales calculation is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Comparable sales include all sales, except sales from stores open less than 13 months.

The collective interaction of a broad array of macroeconomic, competitive and consumer behavioral factors, as well as sales mix, and transfer of sales to new stores makes further analysis of sales metrics infeasible.

TD offers credit to qualified guests through branded proprietary credit cards: the Target Credit Card and the Target Visa (Target Credit Cards). Additionally, we offer a branded proprietary Target Debit Card. Collectively, we refer to these products as REDcards^®. Guests receive a 5 percent discount on virtually all purchases when they use a REDcard at Target. We monitor the percentage of sales that are paid for using REDcards (REDcard Penetration) because our internal analysis has indicated that a meaningful portion of the incremental purchases on REDcards are also incremental sales for Target, with the remainder representing a shift in tender type.

Gross Margin Rate

For the three and six months ended August 2, 2014, our gross margin rate was 30.4 percent and 30.0 percent, respectively, compared with 31.4 percent and 31.1 percent in the comparable periods last year. Virtually all of the decrease was due to promotional activity.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense Rate

For the three and six months ended August 2, 2014, our SG&A expense rate was 20.4 percent and 20.2 percent, decreasing from 20.6 and 20.4 percent in the comparable periods last year. The decrease primarily resulted from company-wide expense optimization efforts, partially offset by investments in technology and other initiatives, none of which were individually significant.

Sales

Sales include merchandise sales, net of expected returns, and gift card breakage.

Canadian sales were $449 million and $842 million for the three and six months ended August 2, 2014, respectively, compared to sales of $275 million and $361 million for the three and six months ended August 3, 2013. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates negatively impacted reported sales by $21 million and $56 million for the three and six months ended August 2, 2014 and $4 million and $7 million for the three and six months ended August 3, 2013. Sales for the three and six months ended August 2,

2014, were generated by 124 Canadian Target general merchandise stores opened during 2013 and six additional stores opened during the first six months of 2014, compared with 68 stores opened during the first half of 2013.

A portion of the second-quarter comparable sales decline reflects the comparison with grand-opening sales surges in 2013, which continued for longer than is typically experienced in new U.S. stores, and the shift of sales to Target stores opened later in 2013 from earlier store openings. The collective interaction of a broad array of macroeconomic, competitive and consumer behavioral factors, as well as sales mix, makes further precision and analysis of sales metrics infeasible.

Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) offers credit to our guests through our co-branded credit card: the Target RBC MasterCard. Additionally, we offer a proprietary Target Debit Card. Consistent with our branded payment products in the U.S., these payment products are referred to as REDcards. Guests receive a 5 percent discount on virtually all purchases when they use a REDcard at Target.

Gross Margin Rate

The gross margin rate of 18.4 percent and 18.5 percent for the three and six months ended August 2, 2014, respectively, reflects the continued impact of efforts to clear excess inventory, while the gross margin rate of 31.6 percent and 33.2 percent for the three and six months ended August 3, 2013, respectively, benefited from lower markdowns due to the short time stores had been open.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense Rate

SG&A expense rate of 48.3 percent and 51.6 percent in the three and six months ended August 2, 2014, respectively decreased significantly from 75.2 percent and 110.6 percent in the three month and six month periods last year, primarily reflecting our increased scale and the pre-opening costs in last year's results.

Canadian Segment long-lived assets equaled $5,080 million at August 2, 2014. As required by GAAP, we review long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances, including significant changes in actual or expected operating results, indicate that the asset’s carrying value may not be recoverable. Based on our most recent Canadian Segment forecast, which includes improved operating results as a result of implemented and planned initiatives, we believe our Canadian Segment long-lived assets are recoverable. If sales and earnings do not grow as forecasted, we may incur an impairment loss. We cannot predict the amount of any potential loss, but it may be material to our operating results.

Other Performance Factors

Consolidated Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

In addition to selling, general and administrative expenses recorded within our segments, we recorded certain other expenses during the three and six months ended August 2, 2014. These expenses included $111 million and $129 million, respectively, of Data Breach-related costs, net of expected insurance proceeds, $16 million of impairments related to undeveloped land, and $13 million of costs related to previously announced plans to convert existing co-branded REDcards to MasterCard co-branded chip-and-PIN cards beginning in early 2015 to support the accelerated transition to chip-and-PIN-enabled REDcards.

Additional information about Data Breach-related expenses is included in Note 6 to the Financial Statements and in the Data Breach section of Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Net Interest Expense

Net interest expense was $453 million and $622 million for the three and six months ended August 2, 2014, respectively, compared to $171 million and $801 million for the three and six months ended August 3, 2013. Net interest expense for the three and six months ended August 2, 2014 included a loss on early retirement of debt of $285 million. Net interest expense for the six months ended Augusts 3, 2013 included a $445 million loss on early retirement of debt.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended August 2, 2014 was 36.1 percent and 35.2 percent, respectively, compared to 36.4 percent and 36.2 percent for the three and six months ended August 3, 2013.These decreases of 0.3 and 1.0 percentage points are due to a variety of factors, none of which was individually significant.

At August 2, 2014, we had Canadian deferred tax assets of $631 million primarily related to net operating loss carryforwards (NOL) of $2,029 million. These NOL carryforwards primarily relate to the start-up operations of our Canadian Segment and expire between 2031 and 2034. While we have experienced cumulative losses in our Canadian Segment, our most recent forecast projects sufficient taxable income to realize these NOLs before their expiration. Although realization is not assured, we believe it is more likely than not that the full Canadian deferred tax asset will be realized. If future taxable income does not grow as anticipated, our conclusion regarding the realization of our deferred tax assets may change and we may be required to establish a valuation allowance. The resulting charge to income tax expense may be material to our operating results.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to GAAP Measures

To provide additional transparency, we have disclosed non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share (Adjusted EPS), which excludes the impact of the 2013 sale of our U.S. consumer credit card receivables portfolio, losses on early retirements of debt, net expenses related to the 2013 data breach and other matters presented below. We believe this information is useful in providing period-to-period comparisons of the results of our ongoing retail operations. This measure is not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The most comparable GAAP measure is diluted earnings per share. Non-GAAP adjusted EPS should not be considered in isolation or as a substitution for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Other companies may calculate non-GAAP adjusted EPS differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of the measure for comparisons with other companies.

Note: A non-GAAP financial measures summary is provided on page 14. The sum of the non-GAAP adjustments may not equal the total adjustment amounts due to rounding. Beginning with the first quarter 2014, we no longer exclude Canadian Segment results from Adjusted EPS because fiscal 2014 will be our first full year of operating stores in Canada. For comparison purposes, prior year Adjusted EPS has been revised to include Canadian Segment results.

^(a) For the three and six months ended August 2, 2014, we recorded $148 million and $175 million of pretax Data Breach-related expenses, respectively. Along with legal and other professional services, these expenses include an increase to the accrual for estimated probable losses for what we believe to be the vast majority of actual and potential breach-related claims, including claims by payment card networks. We also recorded expected insurance proceeds of $38 million and $46 million, respectively, for the three and six months, for net pretax expenses of $111 million and $129 million, respectively.

^(b) Expense related to converting the co-branded REDcard program to MasterCard.

^(c) Represents consideration received from the sale of our U.S. credit card receivables in the first quarter of 2013 in excess of the recorded amount of the receivables. Consideration included a beneficial interest asset of $225 million.

Analysis of Financial Condition

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash and cash equivalents balance was $803 million at August 2, 2014 compared with $1,018 million for the same period in 2013. Our investment policy is designed to preserve principal and liquidity of our short-term investments. This policy allows investments in large money market funds or in highly rated direct short-term instruments that mature in 60 days or less. We also place certain dollar limits on our investments in individual funds or instruments.

Cash Flows

Operations during the first six months of 2014 were funded by both internally and externally generated funds. Cash flow provided by operations was $1,514 million for the six months ended August 2, 2014 compared with $4,109 million for the same period in 2013. Cash flow provided by operations for the six months ended August 3, 2013, includes $2.7 billion of cash received in connection with the sale of our U.S. consumer credit card receivables. In June 2014, we issued $1 billion of unsecured debt that matures in June 2019 and $1 billion of unsecured debt that matures in July 2024. These cash flows, combined with our prior year-end cash position, allowed us to repurchase $725 million of debt at a market value of $1 billion, pay current debt maturities, invest in the business and pay dividends.

Share Repurchases

We did not repurchase any shares on the open market during the six months ended August 2, 2014. However, we reacquired 0.6 million shares during the three and six months ended August 2, 2014, upon the noncash settlement of prepaid forward contracts related to nonqualified deferred compensation plans. These contracts had an original cash investment of $34 million and an aggregate market value at their settlement dates of $34.7 million. During the three and six months ended August 3, 2013, we repurchased 13.3 million and 21.9 million shares of our common stock, respectively, for a total investment of $927 million ($69.57 per share) and $1,474 million ($67.41 per share).

Dividends

We paid dividends totaling $272 million ($0.43 per share) and $545 million ($0.86 per share) for the three and six months ended August 2, 2014, respectively, and $231 million ($0.36 per share) and $463 million ($0.72 per share) during the three and six months ended August 3, 2013, a per share increase of 19.4 percent. We declared dividends totaling $329 million ($0.52 per share) in second quarter 2014, a per share increase of 20.9 percent over the $271 million ($0.43 per share) of declared dividends during the second quarter of 2013. We have paid dividends every quarter since our 1967 initial public offering, and it is our intent to continue to do so in the future.

Short-term and Long-term Financing

Our financing strategy is to ensure liquidity and access to capital markets, to manage our net exposure to floating interest rate volatility, and to maintain a balanced spectrum of debt maturities. Within these parameters, we seek to minimize our borrowing costs.

Our ability to access the long-term debt and commercial paper markets has provided us with ample sources of liquidity. Our continued access to these markets depends on multiple factors including the condition of debt capital markets, our operating performance and maintaining strong credit ratings. As of August 2, 2014 our credit ratings were as follows:

Credit Ratings	Moody’s	Standard and Poor’s	Fitch
Long-term debt	A2	A	A-
Commercial paper	P-1	A-1	F2

If our credit ratings were lowered, our ability to access the debt markets and our cost of funds and other terms for new debt issuances could be adversely impacted. Each of the credit rating agencies reviews its rating periodically and there is no guarantee our current credit ratings will remain the same as described above. Due to our recent operating performance, Standard and Poor's lowered our long-term debt rating from A+ to A during the first quarter of 2014, but maintained our A-1 commercial paper rating.

22

As a measure of our financial condition, we monitor our ratio of earnings to fixed charges, representing the ratio of pretax earnings before fixed charges to fixed charges. Fixed charges include interest expense and the interest portion of rent expense. For the first six months of 2014 our ratio of earnings to fixed charges was 3.45x compared with 5.04x for the first six months of 2013. (See Exhibit (12) for a description of how the gain on sale of our U.S. credit card receivables portfolio and loss on early retirement of debt affected the 2014 and 2013 calculations).

We have additional liquidity through a committed $2.25 billion revolving credit facility that expires in October 2018.  No balances were outstanding at any time during 2013 or 2014.

Most of our long-term debt obligations contain covenants related to secured debt levels. In addition to a secured debt level covenant, our credit facility also contains a debt leverage covenant. We are, and expect to remain, in compliance with these covenants. Additionally, at August 2, 2014, no notes or debentures contained provisions requiring acceleration of payment upon a debt rating downgrade, except that certain outstanding notes allow the note holders to put the notes to us if within a matter of months of each other we experience both (i) a change in control; and (ii) our long-term debt ratings are either reduced and the resulting rating is non-investment grade, or our long-term debt ratings are placed on watch for possible reduction and those ratings are subsequently reduced and the resulting rating is non-investment grade.

We believe our sources of liquidity will continue to be adequate to maintain operations, finance anticipated expansion and strategic initiatives, fund obligations incurred as a result of the Data Breach and any related future technology enhancements, pay dividends and continue purchases under our share repurchase program for the foreseeable future. We continue to anticipate ample access to commercial paper and long-term financing.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Our 2013 Form 10-K included a summary of contractual obligations and commitments as of February 1, 2014. During the three months ended August 2, 2014, there were no material changes outside the ordinary course of business.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as a new Topic, Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606.  This ASU is effective for Target for the annual and interim periods within the fiscal year ending February 3, 2018.  We are currently evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting guidance, but do not expect a material impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

We do not expect that any other recently issued accounting pronouncements will have a material effect on our financial statements.

Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains forward-looking statements, which are based on our current assumptions and expectations. These statements are typically accompanied by the words “expect,” “may,” “could,” “believe,” “would,” “might,” “anticipates,” or words of similar import. The principal forward-looking statements in this report include: Our financial performance; statements regarding the adequacy of and costs associated with our sources of liquidity, the fair value and amount of the beneficial interest asset, our expected recovery of the carrying value and the amount of any potential impairment of Canadian long-lived assets, our expected realization of the deferred tax asset related to Canadian net operating loss carryforwards, the continued execution of our share repurchase program, our expected capital expenditures, the expected compliance with debt covenants, the expected impact of new accounting pronouncements, our intentions regarding future dividends, the expected outcome of, and adequacy of our reserves for, investigations, inquiries, claims and litigation, including those related to the Data Breach, expected insurance recoveries, our REDcard Rewards loyalty program, and our adoption of chip-and-PIN technology.

All such forward-looking statements are intended to enjoy the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. Although we believe there is a reasonable basis for the forward-looking statements, our actual results could be materially different. The most important factors which could cause our actual results to differ from our forward-looking statements are set forth on our description of risk factors in Item 1A of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2014 and Item 1A of this Form 10-Q, which should be read in conjunction with the forward-looking statements in this report. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There have been no material changes in our primary risk exposures or management of market risks from those disclosed in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2014.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the second quarter of 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, we conducted an evaluation, under supervision and with the participation of management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective. Disclosure controls and procedures are defined by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act as controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

No response is required under Item 103 of Regulation S-K, which requires disclosure of legal proceedings that are material, based on an analysis of the probability and magnitude of the outcome. For a description of other legal proceedings, including a discussion of litigation and government inquiries related to the Data Breach we experienced in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 in which certain payment card and guest information was stolen through unauthorized access to our network, see Part 1, Item 2, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part 1, Item 1, Financial Statements.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

We are including the following revised risk factors, which should be read in conjunction with our description of risk factors in Part I, Item 1A, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2014:

A significant disruption in our computer systems and our inability to adequately maintain and update those systems could adversely affect our operations and our ability to maintain guest confidence.

We rely extensively on our computer systems to manage inventory, process guest transactions, manage guest data, communicate with our vendors and other third parties, service REDcard accounts and summarize and analyze results, and on continued and unimpeded access to the internet to use our computer systems. Our systems are subject to damage or interruption from power outages, telecommunications failures, computer viruses and malicious attacks, security breaches and catastrophic events. If our systems are damaged or fail to function properly, we may incur substantial repair or replacement costs, experience data loss and impediments to our ability to manage inventories or process guest transactions, and encounter lost guest confidence, which could adversely affect our results of operations. The Data Breach we experienced negatively impacted our ability to timely handle customer inquiries, and we experienced weaker than expected U.S. Segment sales following the announcement of the Data Breach. Similarly, we experienced a temporary network disruption not involving a data breach in June 2014 that prevented many of our point-of-sale registers from working in a limited geographic region. This disruption caused checkout delays and generated negative publicity, and we engaged in promotional activities to retain our customers during the delay.

We continually make significant technology investments that will help maintain and update our existing computer systems. Implementing significant system changes increases the risk of computer system disruption. Additionally, the potential problems and interruptions associated with implementing technology initiatives could disrupt or reduce our operational efficiency, and could impact the guest experience and guest confidence.

We experienced a significant data security breach in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, and have recorded significant expenses related to that event. Our losses could exceed the amounts we have recorded by material amounts, and we cannot predict the longer-term impact of any loss of confidence of our guests. These matters could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.

The Data Breach we experienced involved the theft of certain payment card and guest information through unauthorized access to our network. It is possible that we will identify additional information that was accessed or stolen, which could materially worsen the losses and reputational damage we have experienced. For example, when the intrusion was initially identified, we thought the information stolen was limited to payment card information, but later discovered that other guest information was also stolen.

We are currently subject to a number of governmental investigations and private litigation and other claims relating to the Data Breach, and in the future we may be subject to additional investigations and claims of this sort. We have recorded Data Breach-related expenses that include our estimated probable losses for these matters, and it is reasonably possible that we may incur a material loss in excess of the amount accrued.

Our financial liability arising from such investigations and claims will depend on many factors, one of which is whether, at the time of the Data Breach, the portion of our network that handles payment card data was in compliance with applicable payment card industry standards. While that portion of our network was determined to be compliant by an independent third-party assessor in the fall of 2013, the forensic investigator working on behalf of the payment card networks following the Data Breach has claimed that we were not in compliance with those standards at the time of the Data Breach. Another factor is whether, and if so to what extent, any fraud losses or other expenses experienced by cardholders, card issuers and/or the payment card networks on or with respect to the payment card accounts affected by the Data Breach can be properly attributed to the Data Breach and whether, and

25

if so to what extent, such losses and expenses would in any event be our legal responsibility. In addition, the governmental agencies investigating the Data Breach may seek to impose on us fines and/or other monetary relief and/or injunctive relief that could materially increase our data security costs, adversely impact how we operate our network and collect and use guest information, and put us at a competitive disadvantage with other retailers.

Finally, we believe that the greatest risk to our business arising out of the Data Breach is the negative impact on our reputation and loss of confidence of our guests, as well as the possibility of decreased participation in our REDcards Rewards loyalty program which our internal analysis has indicated drives meaningful incremental sales. We experienced weaker than expected U.S. Segment sales after the announcement of the Data Breach, but are unable to determine whether there will be a long-term impact to our relationship with our guests or whether we will need to engage in significant additional promotional or other activities to regain their trust, which could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations or profitability.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

The table below presents information with respect to Target common stock purchases made during the three months ended August 2, 2014, by Target or any “affiliated purchaser” of Target, as defined in Rule 10b-18(a)(3) under the Exchange Act.

In January 2012, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of $5 billion of our common stock. There is no stated expiration for the share repurchase program. Since the inception of this share repurchase program, we have repurchased 49.8 million shares of our common stock, for a total cash investment of $3.1 billion ($62.89 average price per share).

^(a) The table above includes shares reacquired upon settlement of prepaid forward contracts. For the three months ended August 2, 2014, 0.6 million shares were reacquired through these contracts. At August 2, 2014, we held asset positions in prepaid forward contracts for 0.7 million shares of our common stock, for a total cash investment of $29 million, or $42.88 per share.

^(b)The number of shares above includes shares of common stock reacquired from team members who wish to tender owned shares to satisfy the tax withholding on equity awards as part of our long-term incentive plans or to satisfy the exercise price on stock option exercises. For the three months ended August 2, 2014, 10,642 shares were reacquired at a weighted average per share price of $58.23 pursuant to our long-term incentive plan.

Gregg Steinhafel

Re:    Advisory Period

Dear Gregg:

This letter establishes the terms of your employment with Target while you are serving in an advisory capacity.

Effective May 5, 2014 through a date no later than August 23, 2014 (the “Advisory Period”), you will provide services as requested by the Board to assist with the transition of your responsibilities as President and Chief Executive Officer. Either you or Target may move the last day of the Advisory Period to an earlier date by providing ten days’ written notice to the other party.

During the Advisory Period, you will receive the same base compensation that was in effect on the date you stepped down as President and CEO.

In addition, your age and service with Target allow you to remain eligible for a fiscal 2014 short-term incentive payout opportunity under Target’s Short-Term Incentive Plan. Such bonus opportunity will be based on the bonus program terms in effect on the date you stepped down as President and CEO, and will be calculated using Target’s actual financial performance for fiscal 2014. The bonus amount, if any, will be prorated based on the length of your 2014 employment, which will include the Advisory Period. Any such bonus will be paid after completion of fiscal 2014 in accordance with Target’s customary practice. As stated in Target’s Short-Term Incentive Plan brochure, you need not be employed at the time of bonus payment or otherwise in order to be eligible for bonus compensation under the Short-Term Incentive Plan.

Please let me know if you have any questions about this matter.

Sincerely,

/s/ Jodee Kozlak

Jodee Kozlak
Executive Vice President, Human Resources

Exhibit (10)BB

Target Corporation 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

THIS RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made in Minneapolis, Minnesota as of the date of grant (the “Grant Date”) set forth in the award letter (the “Award Letter”) by and between the Company and John J. Mulligan (the “Executive”). This award (the “Award”) of Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”), provided to you as a Service Provider, is being issued under the Target Corporation 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), subject to the following terms and conditions. The intent of the Award is for the Executive to earn the Award for providing Service to the Company or a Subsidiary over the three years starting on the Grant Date and, except for the specific circumstances described in this Agreement, receive one third (1/3) of the Shares issuable under the RSUs after each anniversary of the Grant Date.

1.    Definitions. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the defined terms used in this Agreement shall have the same meaning as in the Plan. The term “Committee” shall also include those persons to whom authority has been delegated under the Plan.

2.    Grant of RSUs. Subject to the relevant terms of the Plan and this Agreement, as of the Grant Date, the Company has granted the Executive the number of RSUs set forth in the Award Letter.

3.    Performance Condition. The Award is subject to a performance condition established by the Committee for a period comprised of the third and fourth quarters of the Company’s fiscal year ending January 31, 2015 (the “Performance Period”). Except as set forth in Section 6, as a condition to the receipt of any Shares in settlement of the Award, the Company’s U.S. Segment EBIT for the Performance Period must be equal to or greater than $500 million (the “Performance Condition”). The Committee shall determine whether the Performance Condition is satisfied as soon as practicable after completion of the Performance Period, but in any event not later than November 30 of the calendar year in which the Performance Period ends (the date the Committee so determines, the “Determination Date”). Except as set forth in Section 6, the Award shall be cancelled and the Executive shall have no rights hereunder if either (a) the Determination Date does not occur or (b) the Committee determines on the Determination Date that the Performance Condition has not been satisfied.

4.    Vesting Schedule.

(a)    Subject to Section 4(b), one third (1/3) of the Shares issuable under the RSUs shall vest on the first anniversary of the Grant Date and on each succeeding anniversary

of the Grant Date until all of the Shares have vested and been issued (after the third anniversary of the Grant Date).

(b)    Notwithstanding Section 4(a), the Shares issuable under the RSUs shall vest on the earlier of: (i) the date that the conditions for an Accelerated Vesting Event set forth in Section 5 are satisfied, in which case, all of the outstanding unvested RSUs shall become vested; or (ii) as specified in Section 6.

(c)    Each date of vesting is referred to as a “Vesting Date”. All vested RSUs shall be paid out as provided in Section 10, in accordance with and subject to any restrictions set forth in this Agreement, the Plan or any agreement the Executive may be required to enter pursuant to Section 5.

5.    Accelerated Vesting Events. Upon the occurrence of one of the following events (each, an “Accelerated Vesting Event”), the outstanding unvested RSUs subject to this Agreement shall become vested as provided below:

(a)    Death. In the case of the Executive’s death prior to the Executive’s termination of Service, any outstanding unvested RSUs shall vest in full as of the date of the Executive’s death.

(b)    Disability. In the case of the Executive’s Disability prior to the Executive’s termination of Service, any outstanding unvested RSUs shall vest in full as of the date of the Executive’s Disability.

(c)    Involuntary Service Separation. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, and provided the Company has received a valid unrevoked agreement from the Executive containing a release of claims, a covenant not to engage in competitive employment, and/or other provisions deemed appropriate by the Committee in its sole discretion, if the Executive’s Service is involuntarily terminated by the Company or a Subsidiary to which the Executive is providing Service (the “Service Recipient”) prior to the third anniversary of the Grant Date other than for Cause (an “Involuntary Service Separation”), then 100% of the unvested RSUs shall vest (if the Performance Condition is satisfied) as of the later of (i) the Determination Date, or (ii) the date of the Executive’s Involuntary Service Separation.

6.    Change in Control.

(a)    If a Change in Control occurs, a number of unvested RSUs will immediately vest such that the total number of RSUs that vest and are converted to Shares under this Award equals the total number of Shares subject to this Award multiplied by a fraction. The numerator of such fraction shall be the number of months that have elapsed between the Grant Date and the Change in Control, and the denominator shall be thirty-six (36) months. Any of the RSUs that do not vest under this Section 6(a) shall terminate immediately and the Executive shall have no rights hereunder with respect to those unvested RSUs.

2.

(b)    If, prior to a Change in Control, the Committee has determined on the Determination Date that the Performance Condition has not been satisfied, then the Award shall be cancelled and the Executive shall have no rights hereunder

7.    Cause. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, if the Committee concludes, in its sole discretion, that the Executive’s Service was terminated in whole or in part for Cause, all of the RSUs subject to the Award that have not previously been converted to Shares shall terminate immediately and the Executive shall have no rights hereunder.

8.    Other Termination; Changes of Service. If the Executive’s termination of Service occurs at any time prior to the third anniversary of the Grant Date for any reason not meeting the conditions specified in Sections 5 through 7, all of the outstanding unvested RSUs subject to the Award shall terminate effective as of the date of termination of Service and the Executive shall have no rights hereunder. Service shall not be deemed terminated in the case of (a) any approved leave of absence, or (b) transfers among the Company and any Subsidiaries in the same Service Provider capacity; however, a termination of Service shall occur if (i) the relationship the Executive had with the Company or a Subsidiary at the Grant Date terminates, even if the Executive continues in another Service Provider capacity with the Company or a Subsidiary, or (ii) the Executive experiences a “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A.

9.    Dividend Equivalents. The Award is being granted with an equal number of dividend equivalents. Accordingly, the Executive shall have the right to receive additional RSUs with a value equal to the regular cash dividend paid on one Share for each RSU held pursuant to this Agreement prior to the conversion of RSUs and issuance of Shares pursuant to Section 10. The number of additional RSUs to be received as dividend equivalents for each RSU held shall be determined by dividing the cash dividend per share by the Fair Market Value of one Share on the dividend payment date; provided, however, that for purposes of avoiding the issuance of fractional RSUs, on each dividend payment date the additional RSUs issued as dividend equivalents shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number. All such additional RSUs received as dividend equivalents shall be subject to forfeiture in the same manner and to the same extent as the original RSUs granted hereby, and shall be converted into Shares on the basis and at the time set forth in Section 10 hereof.

10.    Conversion of RSUs and Issuance of Shares.

(a)    Timing. Vested RSUs shall be converted to Shares on a one-for-one basis and shall be issued within 90 days following the earliest to occur of (i) each anniversary of the Grant Date, (ii) the Executive’s “separation from service” as such term is defined for purposes of Code Section 409A, (iii) the Executive’s death, or (iv) the Executive’s Disability (as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, provided such determination complies with the definition of disability under Code Section 409A). The Committee in its sole discretion may accelerate or delay the distribution of any payment under this Agreement to the extent allowed under Code Section 409A.

3.

(b)    Limitation for Specified Employees. If any Shares shall be issuable with respect to the RSUs as a result of the Executive’s “separation from service” at such time as the Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, then no Shares shall be issued, except as permitted under Code Section 409A, prior to the first business day after the earlier of (i) the date that is six months after the Executive’s “separation from service”, or (ii) the Executive’s death.

(c)    Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control that constitutes a change in ownership or effective control of, or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of, the Company under Code Section 409A (a “409A Change in Control Event”), vested RSUs shall be converted to Shares on a one-for-one basis and shall be issued within ten days after the Change in Control. For a Change in Control that is not a 409A Change in Control Event, the timing of the conversion of RSUs and issuance of underlying Shares shall be in accordance with Section 10(a).

(d)    Unvested RSUs. All of the RSUs subject to the Award that are unvested as of the time the vested RSUs are converted and Shares are issued under Section 10(a)(ii) shall terminate immediately and the Executive shall have no rights hereunder with respect to those unvested RSUs.

(e)    Code Section 409A. Payment of amounts under this Agreement are intended to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A and this Agreement shall in all respects be administered and construed to give effect to such intent.

11.    Taxes. The Executive acknowledges that (a) the ultimate liability for any and all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”) legally due by him or her is and remains the Executive’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company and/or the Service Recipient and (b) the Company and/or the Service Recipient or a former Service Recipient, as applicable, (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the RSUs, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting and/or conversion of the RSUs and issuance of Shares; (ii) do not commit and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the RSUs to reduce or eliminate the Executive’s liability for Tax-Related Items; (iii) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction if the Executive has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable event; and (iv) may refuse to deliver the Shares to the Executive if he or she fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items as provided in this Section.

The Executive authorizes and consents to the Company and/or the Service Recipient, or their respective agents, satisfying all applicable Tax-Related Items which the Company reasonably determines are legally payable by him or her by withholding from the Shares that would otherwise be delivered to the Executive the highest number of whole Shares that the Company determines has a value less than or equal to the aggregate applicable Tax-Related Items. In lieu thereof, the Executive may elect at the time of conversion of the RSUs such

4.

other then-permitted method or combination of methods established by the Company and/or the Service Recipient to satisfy the Executive’s Tax-Related Items.

12.    Limitations on Transfer. The Award shall not be sold, assigned, transferred, exchanged or encumbered by the Executive other than pursuant to the terms of the Plan.

13.    Recoupment Provision. In the event of a restatement of the Company’s consolidated financial statements that is caused, in whole or in part, by the intentional misconduct of the Executive, the Company may take one or more of the following actions with respect to the Award, as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) in its sole discretion, and the Executive shall be bound by such determination:

(a)    cancel all or a portion of the RSUs, whether vested or unvested, and any or all dividend equivalents related to the Award; and

(b)    require repayment of all or any portion of the amounts realized or received by the Executive resulting from the conversion of RSUs to Shares or the sale of Shares related to the Award.

The term “restatement” shall mean the result of revising financial statements previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission to reflect the correction of an error. The term “intentional misconduct” shall be limited to conduct that the Compensation Committee determines indicates intent to mislead management, the Board, or the Company’s shareholders, but shall not include good faith errors in judgment made by the Executive.

The Executive agrees that the Company may setoff any amounts it is entitled to recover under this Section against any amounts owed by the Company to the Executive under any of the Company’s deferred compensation plans to the extent permitted under Code Section 409A. The Executive further agrees that the terms of this Section shall survive the Executive’s termination of Service and any conversion of the Award into Shares. This Section 13 shall not apply, and no amounts may be recovered hereunder, following a Change in Control.

14.    No Employment Rights. Nothing in this Agreement, the Plan or the Award Letter shall confer upon the Executive any right to continued Service with the Company or any Subsidiary, as applicable, nor shall it interfere with or limit in any way any right of the Company or any Subsidiary, as applicable, to terminate the Executive’s Service at any time with or without Cause or change the Executive’s compensation, other benefits, job responsibilities or title provided in compliance with applicable local laws and permitted under the terms of the Executive’s Service contract, if any.

(a)    The Executive’s rights to vest in the RSUs or receive Shares after termination of Service shall be determined pursuant to Sections 4 through 10. Those rights and the Executive’s date of termination of Service will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active service would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar notice period pursuant to local law).

5.

(b)    This Agreement, the Plan and the Award Letter are separate from, and shall not form, any part of the contract of Service of the Executive, or affect any of the rights and obligations arising from the Service relationship between the Executive and the Company and/or the Service Recipient.

(c)    No Service Provider has a right to participate in the Plan. All decisions with respect to future grants, if any, shall be at the sole discretion of the Company and/or the Service Recipient.

(d)    The Executive will have no claim or right of action in respect of any decision, omission or discretion which may operate to the disadvantage of the Executive.

15.    Nature of Grant. In accepting the grant, the Executive acknowledges, understands, and agrees that:

(a)    the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, unless otherwise provided in the Plan and this Agreement, and any such modification, amendment, suspension or termination will not constitute a constructive or wrongful dismissal;

(b)    the RSUs are extraordinary items and are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or welfare or retirement benefits or similar payments;

(c)    in no event should the RSUs be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Company or the Service Recipient, nor are the RSUs or the underlying Shares intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

(d)    the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;

(e)    the Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the Executive’s participation in the Plan or the RSUs;

(f)    no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the RSUs resulting from termination of the Executive’s Service (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws), and in consideration of the grant of the RSUs to which the Executive is otherwise not entitled, the Executive irrevocably (i) agrees never to institute any such claim against the Company or the Service Recipient, (ii) waives the Executive’s ability, if any, to bring any such claim, and (iii) releases the Company and the Service Recipient from any such claim. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction, then, by participating in the Plan, the Executive shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such claim and agrees to execute any and all documents necessary to request dismissal or withdrawal of such claims; and

6.

(g)    the Executive is hereby advised to consult with personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the RSUs or the Plan.

16.    Governing Law; Venue; Jurisdiction. To the extent that federal laws do not otherwise control, this Agreement, the Award Letter, the Plan and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant to the Plan shall be governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota without regard to its conflicts-of-law principles and shall be construed accordingly. The exclusive forum and venue for any legal action arising out of or related to this Agreement shall be the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota, and the parties submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court. If neither subject matter nor diversity jurisdiction exists in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota, then the exclusive forum and venue for any such action shall be the courts of the State of Minnesota located in Hennepin County, and the Executive, as a condition of this Agreement, consents to the personal jurisdiction of that court.

17.    Imposition of Other Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Executive’s participation in the Plan, on the RSUs and on any Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Plan, and to require the Executive to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

18.    Plan and Award Letter Incorporated by Reference; Electronic Delivery. The Plan, as hereafter amended from time to time, and the Award Letter shall be deemed to be incorporated into this Agreement and are integral parts hereof. In the event there is any inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall govern. The Company or a third party designated by the Company may deliver to the Executive by electronic means any documents related to his or her participation in the Plan. The Executive acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and the Award Letter.

July 26, 2014

Mr. Brian Cornell

[intentionally omitted]

Re: Offer Letter

Dear Brian:

We are pleased to extend to you our offer to join Target Corporation, a Minnesota corporation (the “Company”). If you accept this offer, your start date will be August 12, 2014 (such date, the “Start Date”). This letter (“Offer Letter”) serves as confirmation of our offer subject to the contingencies set forth below.

Position and Duties. As of the Start Date, you will be employed by the Company as Chief Executive Officer, will be appointed to the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), and will be named Chairman of the Board, with duties as are commensurate with such positions. You will perform your duties primarily at the Company’s headquarters in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Base Salary. Your base salary as of the Start Date will be at an annual rate of $1,300,000, which will be paid in substantially equal installments in accordance with the Company’s payroll policies (the “Base Salary”). Your Base Salary will be reviewed from time to time by the Board or the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”). The Base Salary as determined herein from time to time shall constitute your “Base Salary” for all purposes under this Offer Letter.

Annual Incentive. You will be eligible to participate in the Company’s Officer Short-Term Incentive Plan for fiscal year 2014 with an annual target bonus opportunity equal to 150 percent of your Base Salary, pro rated for the portion of the 2014 fiscal year from the Start Date until the last day of the 2014 fiscal year that you are employed with the Company, to be paid to you at the same time as annual bonuses are paid to senior executives of the Company generally,

subject to your continued employment with the Company through such time. For fiscal years of the Company subsequent to fiscal year 2014, you shall be eligible to participate in the Company’s short-term incentive programs, provided that any subsequent short-term incentive compensation will be provided to you in amounts, at times, in forms and on such terms and conditions as determined by the Compensation Committee or the Board in its sole discretion.

Long-Term Incentives. For fiscal year 2015, at the time grants are made to other senior executives of the Company generally, subject to your continued employment at such time, you will be awarded equity incentive grants with a target value as of the grant date of $9,000,000. All such awards will be made (i) in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan or its successor, as it may be amended from time to time (the “LTIP”) and (ii) on the same terms and conditions and in the same proportion as to the forms of equity awards granted to other senior executives of the Company generally for fiscal year 2015. For fiscal years of the Company subsequent to fiscal year 2015, you shall be eligible to participate in the Company’s long-term incentive programs, provided that any subsequent grants of long-term incentive compensation will be provided to you in amounts, at times, in forms and on such terms and conditions as determined by the Compensation Committee or the Board in its sole discretion.

Make-Whole Compensation. In consideration of the forfeiture of certain incentive compensation awards from your previous employer, the Company agrees to provide you with the following on the terms and conditions set forth below.

Make-Whole Equity Grant. As soon as practicable following the Start Date, you will be awarded performance-based restricted stock units and restricted stock units with respect to a number of shares of Company common stock (“Common Stock”) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the excess, if any, of (a) $19,250,000 over (b) the Retained Value (as defined below) by (ii) the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan) of a share of Common Stock as of the grant date (the “Make-Whole Equity Grant”). The “Retained Value” shall equal the sum of (I) for any cash-based incentives, the value of any cash-based incentives outstanding as of immediately prior to the date of your termination of employment with your previous employer that you do not forfeit as a result of your termination of employment with your previous employer based on the target cash value of such awards and (II) for any stock-based incentives, the product of (A) target number of shares subject to such awards outstanding as of immediately prior to the date of your termination of employment with your previous employer that you do not forfeit as a result of your termination of employment with your previous employer and (B) the closing price of a share of your previous employer’s common stock as of the date on which your employment

terminates.

• RSUs. Subject to your continued employment through the applicable vesting date and, in order to enable such awards to qualify for the exception to the deduction limitation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Company obtaining positive net earnings for its U.S. operations (the “Profitability Goal”) for the third and fourth quarters of the 2014 fiscal year, 30 percent of the Make-Whole Equity Grant (i.e., if there is no Retained Value, $5,775,000) shall vest and be settled in March 2015 (the “RSUs”).

• PBRSUs. Subject to the achievement of the Profitability Goal for the Company’s 2015 fiscal year and your continued employment through the applicable vesting date, the remainder of the Make-Whole Equity Grant (i.e., if there is no Retained Value, $13,475,000) shall vest and be settled 1/3 on each of March 2016, March 2017 and March 2018 (the “PBRSUs”); provided that the number of such PBRSUs that will actually become earned, vested and settled on the applicable vesting date may increase or decrease by up to 25 percent based on the Company’s relative total shareholder return (“TSR”) as calculated below. TSR will be based on a hypothetical investment of $100 in the Company and each of the members of the Company’s retail peer group (the “Peers”) as of the Start Date and comparing it with the value at the end of the fiscal year immediately preceding the scheduled vesting dates set forth above, assuming the reinvestment of all dividends paid during the fiscal year; provided that the stock price of the Company and each of its Peers on the Start Date and the end of the fiscal year immediately preceding each of the scheduled vesting dates shall be deemed to be the average of each company’s stock price for the 90 calendar days immediately preceding the applicable measurement dates. If the Company’s TSR is in the top 33 percent of its Peers, you will be eligible to earn 125 percent of the targeted value of the tranche scheduled to vest during such period; if the Company’s TSR is in the middle 33 percent of its Peers, you will be eligible to earn 100 percent of the targeted value of the tranche scheduled to vest during such period; and if the Company’s TSR is in the bottom 33 percent of its Peers, you will be eligible to earn 75 percent of the targeted value of the tranche scheduled to vest during such period.

• Treatment of Make-Whole Equity Upon Involuntary Termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon a termination of your employment that would give rise to severance benefits under the Company’s Officer Income Continuance Policy Statement or its successor, as it may be amended from time to time (the “ICP”), subject to (i) your execution and non-revocation of a release and any other terms and conditions of

the ICP (including any restrictive covenants contained therein) and (ii) the achievement of the Profitability Goal, you shall earn, vest in and receive within 10 business days of the date of termination (unless the Profitability Goal has yet to be met in which case awards shall be settled within 30 days of the end of the period to which the Profitability Goal applies), to the extent then unvested, the RSUs and 50 percent of the PBRSUs that would have been earned, vested and settled thereafter, in each case, assuming achievement of the TSR Goal at the target level.

Make-Whole Pro Rata 2014 Equity Grant. As soon as practicable following the Start Date, you will be awarded equity incentive grants with a target value as of the grant date of $3,750,000, provided that the Start Date is on or before September 1, 2014. Such awards will be made (i) in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan and (ii) on the same terms and conditions and in the same proportion as to the forms of equity awards granted to other senior executives of the Company generally for fiscal year 2014 (i.e., 75 percent performance share units and 25 percent performance based restricted stock units). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in addition to any other terms and conditions applicable to such awards, the 2014 grants may be subject to the Profitability Goal for fiscal year 2015.

Make-Whole Pro-Rata Annual Bonus Payment.

Target Corporation 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

THIS RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made in Minneapolis, Minnesota as of the date of grant (the “Grant Date”) set forth in the award letter (the “Award Letter”) by and between the Company and Brian C. Cornell (the “Executive”). This award (the “Award”) of Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”), provided to you as a Service Provider, is being issued under the Target Corporation 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), subject to the following terms and conditions. The intent of the Award is for the Executive to earn the Award, subject to minimum Company performance, for providing Service to the Company or a Subsidiary over the period starting on the Grant Date and ending on March 11, 2015 and, except for the specific circumstances described in this Agreement, receive the Shares issuable under the RSUs within 20 days of the Vesting Date.

1.    Definitions. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the defined terms used in this Agreement shall have the same meaning as in the Plan. The term “Committee” shall also include those persons to whom authority has been delegated under the Plan.

2.    Grant of RSUs. Subject to the relevant terms of the Plan and this Agreement, as of the Grant Date, the Company has granted the Executive the number of RSUs set forth in the Award Letter.

3.    Performance Condition. The Award is subject to a performance condition established by the Committee for a period comprised of the third and fourth fiscal quarters of the Company’s fiscal year ending January 31, 2015 (the “Performance Period”). Except as set forth in Section 6, as a condition to the receipt of any Shares in settlement of the Award, the Company’s U.S. Segment Profit for the Performance Period must be greater than $0 (the “Performance Condition”). The Committee shall determine whether the Performance Condition is satisfied as soon as practicable after completion of the Performance Period, but in any event not later than November 30, 2015 (the date the Committee so determines, the “Determination Date”). Except as set forth in Section 6, the Award shall be cancelled and the Executive shall have no rights hereunder if either (a) the Determination Date does not occur or (b) the Committee determines on the Determination Date that the Performance Condition has not been satisfied.

4.    Vesting Schedule. The RSUs shall vest on the earlier of: (a) March 11, 2015, in which case, all of the RSUs shall become vested; (b) the date that the conditions for an Accelerated Vesting Event set forth in Section 5 are satisfied, in which case, all of the RSUs shall become vested; or (c) as specified in Section 6. The date of vesting is referred to as the “Vesting Date”. All such vested RSUs shall be paid out as provided in Section 10, in

accordance with and subject to any restrictions set forth in this Agreement, the Plan or any Release Agreement the Executive may be required to enter pursuant to Section 5. “Release Agreement” means an agreement containing a release of claims, a covenant not to engage in competitive employment, and/or other provisions deemed appropriate by the Committee in its sole discretion.

5.    Accelerated Vesting Events. Upon the occurrence of one of the following events (each, an “Accelerated Vesting Event”), the RSUs subject to this Agreement shall become vested as provided below:

(a)    Death. In the case of the Executive’s death prior to the Executive’s termination of Service, the RSUs shall vest in full (if the Performance Condition is satisfied) as of the later of (i) the Determination Date, or (ii) the date of the Executive’s death.

(b)    Disability. In the case of the Executive’s Disability prior to the Executive’s termination of Service, the RSUs shall vest in full (if the Performance Condition is satisfied) as of the later of (i) the Determination Date, or (ii) the date of the Executive’s Disability.

(c)    Involuntary Service Separation. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, and provided that within sixty (60) days of the Executive’s termination of Service the Company has received a valid unrevoked Release Agreement from the Executive, if the Executive’s Service is involuntarily terminated by the Company or a Subsidiary to which the Executive is providing Service (the “Service Recipient”) prior March 11, 2015 other than for Cause (an “Involuntary Service Separation”), then 100% of the RSUs shall vest (if the Performance Condition is satisfied) as of the later of (i) the Determination Date, or (ii) the date of the Executive’s Involuntary Service Separation.

6.    Change in Control.

(a)    If a Change in Control occurs, a number of unvested RSUs will immediately vest such that the total number of RSUs that vest and are converted to Shares under this Award equals the total number of Shares subject to this Award multiplied by a fraction. The numerator of such fraction shall be the number of months that have elapsed between the Grant Date and the Change in Control, and the denominator shall be seven (7) months. Any of the RSUs that do not vest under this Section 6(a) shall terminate immediately and the Executive shall have no rights hereunder with respect to those unvested RSUs.

(b)    If, prior to a Change in Control, the Committee has determined on the Determination Date that the Performance Condition has not been satisfied, then the Award shall be cancelled and the Executive shall have no rights hereunder.

7.    Cause. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, if the Committee concludes, in its sole discretion, that the Executive’s Service was terminated in whole or in part for Cause, all of the RSUs subject to the Award shall terminate immediately and the Executive shall have no rights hereunder.

2.

8.    Other Termination; Changes of Service. If the Executive’s termination of Service occurs at any time prior to March 11, 2015 for any reason not meeting the conditions specified in Sections 5 through 7, all of the RSUs subject to the Award shall terminate effective as of the date of termination of Service and the Executive shall have no rights hereunder. Service shall not be deemed terminated in the case of (a) any approved leave of absence, or (b) transfers among the Company and any Subsidiaries in the same Service Provider capacity; however, a termination of Service shall occur if (i) the relationship the Executive had with the Company or a Subsidiary at the Grant Date terminates, even if the Executive continues in another Service Provider capacity with the Company or a Subsidiary, or (ii) the Executive experiences a “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A.

9.    Dividend Equivalents. The Award is being granted with an equal number of dividend equivalents. Accordingly, the Executive shall have the right to receive additional RSUs with a value equal to the regular cash dividend paid on one Share for each RSU held pursuant to this Agreement prior to the conversion of RSUs and issuance of Shares pursuant to Section 10. The number of additional RSUs to be received as dividend equivalents for each RSU held shall be determined by dividing the cash dividend per share by the Fair Market Value of one Share on the dividend payment date; provided, however, that for purposes of avoiding the issuance of fractional RSUs, on each dividend payment date the additional RSUs issued as dividend equivalents shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number. All such additional RSUs received as dividend equivalents shall be subject to forfeiture in the same manner and to the same extent as the original RSUs granted hereby, and shall be converted into Shares on the basis and at the time set forth in Section 10 hereof.

10.    Conversion of RSUs and Issuance of Shares.

(a)    Timing. Vested RSUs shall be converted to Shares and shall be issued within 20 days following the earliest to occur of (i) March 11, 2015, (ii) the Executive’s “separation from service” as such term is defined for purposes of Code Section 409A, (iii) the Executive’s death, or (iv) the Executive’s Disability (as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, provided such determination complies with the definition of disability under Code Section 409A). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any of the events specified in subsections (ii), (iii), or (iv) of this Section 10(a) occur prior to the end of the Performance Period, then the vested RSUs shall be converted to Shares and shall be issued within 90 days following completion of the Performance Period. The Committee in its sole discretion may accelerate or delay the distribution of any payment under this Agreement to the extent allowed under Code Section 409A.

(b)    Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, vested RSUs shall be converted to Shares and shall be issued within ten days after the Change in Control.

(c)    Unvested RSUs. All of the RSUs subject to the Award that are unvested as of the time the vested RSUs are converted and Shares are issued under this Section 10 shall terminate immediately and the Executive shall have no rights hereunder with respect to those unvested RSUs.

3.

(d)    Code Section 409A. Payment of amounts under this Agreement are intended to be exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A and this Agreement shall in all respects be administered and construed to give effect to such intent.

11.    Taxes. The Executive acknowledges that (a) the ultimate liability for any and all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”) legally due by him or her is and remains the Executive’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company and/or the Service Recipient and (b) the Company and/or the Service Recipient or a former Service Recipient, as applicable, (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the RSUs, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting and/or conversion of the RSUs and issuance of Shares; (ii) do not commit and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the RSUs to reduce or eliminate the Executive’s liability for Tax-Related Items; (iii) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction if the Executive has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable event; and (iv) may refuse to deliver the Shares to the Executive if he or she fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items as provided in this Section.

The Executive authorizes and consents to the Company and/or the Service Recipient, or their respective agents, satisfying all applicable Tax-Related Items which the Company reasonably determines are legally payable by him or her by withholding from the Shares that would otherwise be delivered to the Executive the highest number of whole Shares that the Company determines has a value less than or equal to the aggregate applicable Tax-Related Items. In lieu thereof, the Executive may elect at the time of conversion of the RSUs such other then-permitted method or combination of methods established by the Company and/or the Service Recipient to satisfy the Executive’s Tax-Related Items.

12.    Limitations on Transfer. The Award shall not be sold, assigned, transferred, exchanged or encumbered by the Executive other than pursuant to the terms of the Plan.

13.    Recoupment Provision. In the event of a restatement of the Company’s consolidated financial statements that is caused, in whole or in part, by the intentional misconduct of the Executive, the Company may take one or more of the following actions with respect to the Award, as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) in its sole discretion, and the Executive shall be bound by such determination:

(a)    cancel all or a portion of the RSUs, whether vested or unvested, and any or all dividend equivalents related to the Award; and

(b)    require repayment of all or any portion of the amounts realized or received by the Executive resulting from the conversion of RSUs to Shares or the sale of Shares related to the Award.

The term “restatement” shall mean the result of revising financial statements previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission to reflect the correction of an error. The

4.

term “intentional misconduct” shall be limited to conduct that the Compensation Committee determines indicates intent to mislead management, the Board, or the Company’s shareholders, but shall not include good faith errors in judgment made by the Executive.

The Executive agrees that the Company may setoff any amounts it is entitled to recover under this Section against any amounts owed by the Company to the Executive under any of the Company’s deferred compensation plans to the extent permitted under Code Section 409A. The Executive further agrees that the terms of this Section shall survive the Executive’s termination of Service and any conversion of the Award into Shares. This Section 13 shall not apply, and no amounts may be recovered hereunder, following a Change in Control.

14.    No Employment Rights. Nothing in this Agreement, the Plan or the Award Letter shall confer upon the Executive any right to continued Service with the Company or any Subsidiary, as applicable, nor shall it interfere with or limit in any way any right of the Company or any Subsidiary, as applicable, to terminate the Executive’s Service at any time with or without Cause or change the Executive’s compensation, other benefits, job responsibilities or title provided in compliance with applicable local laws and permitted under the terms of the Executive’s Service contract, if any.

(a)    The Executive’s rights to vest in the RSUs or receive Shares after termination of Service shall be determined pursuant to Sections 4 through 10. Those rights and the Executive’s date of termination of Service will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active service would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar notice period pursuant to local law).

(b)    This Agreement, the Plan and the Award Letter are separate from, and shall not form, any part of the contract of Service of the Executive, or affect any of the rights and obligations arising from the Service relationship between the Executive and the Company and/or the Service Recipient.

(c)    No Service Provider has a right to participate in the Plan. All decisions with respect to future grants, if any, shall be at the sole discretion of the Company and/or the Service Recipient.

(d)    The Executive will have no claim or right of action in respect of any decision, omission or discretion which may operate to the disadvantage of the Executive.

15.    Nature of Grant. In accepting the grant, the Executive acknowledges, understands, and agrees that:

(a)    the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, unless otherwise provided in the Plan and this Agreement, and any such modification, amendment, suspension or termination will not constitute a constructive or wrongful dismissal;

(b)    the RSUs are extraordinary items and are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any

5.

severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or welfare or retirement benefits or similar payments;

(c)    in no event should the RSUs be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Company or the Service Recipient, nor are the RSUs or the underlying Shares intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

(d)    the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;

(e)    the Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the Executive’s participation in the Plan or the RSUs;

(f)    no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the RSUs resulting from termination of the Executive’s Service (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws), and in consideration of the grant of the RSUs to which the Executive is otherwise not entitled, the Executive irrevocably (i) agrees never to institute any such claim against the Company or the Service Recipient, (ii) waives the Executive’s ability, if any, to bring any such claim, and (iii) releases the Company and the Service Recipient from any such claim. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction, then, by participating in the Plan, the Executive shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such claim and agrees to execute any and all documents necessary to request dismissal or withdrawal of such claims; and

(g)    the Executive is hereby advised to consult with personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the RSUs or the Plan.

16.    Governing Law; Venue; Jurisdiction; Severability. To the extent that federal laws do not otherwise control, this Agreement, the Award Letter, the Plan and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant to the Plan shall be governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota without regard to its conflicts-of-law principles and shall be construed accordingly. The exclusive forum and venue for any legal action arising out of or related to this Agreement shall be the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota, and the parties submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court. If neither subject matter nor diversity jurisdiction exists in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota, then the exclusive forum and venue for any such action shall be the courts of the State of Minnesota located in Hennepin County, and the Executive, as a condition of this Agreement, consents to the personal jurisdiction of that court. If any provision of this Agreement, the Award Letter or the Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Agreement, the Award Letter or the Plan, and the Agreement, the Award Letter and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included.

6.

17.    Imposition of Other Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Executive’s participation in the Plan, on the RSUs and on any Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Plan, and to require the Executive to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

18.    Plan and Award Letter Incorporated by Reference; Electronic Delivery. The Plan, as hereafter amended from time to time, and the Award Letter shall be deemed to be incorporated into this Agreement and are integral parts hereof. In the event there is any inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall govern. The Company or a third party designated by the Company may deliver to the Executive by electronic means any documents related to his or her participation in the Plan. The Executive acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and the Award Letter.

Target Corporation 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan

PERFORMANCE-BASED RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

THIS PERFORMANCE-BASED RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made in Minneapolis, Minnesota as of the date of grant (the “Grant Date”) set forth in the award letter (the “Award Letter”) by and between the Company and Brian C. Cornell (the “Executive”). This award (the “Award”) of Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units (“PBRSUs”), provided to you as a Service Provider, is being issued under the Target Corporation 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), subject to the following terms and conditions. The intent of the Award is for the Executive to earn the Award, subject to minimum Company performance, for providing Service to the Company or a Subsidiary through the three full fiscal years starting after the Grant Date and, except for the specific circumstances described in this Agreement, receive the one third (1/3) of the Shares issuable under the PBRSUs after the completion of each full fiscal year of that period (each such one third of the Award to be known as a “Tranche”).

1.    Definitions. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the defined terms used in this Agreement shall have the same meaning as in the Plan. The term “Committee” shall also include those persons to whom authority has been delegated under the Plan.

2.    Grant of PBRSUs.

(a)    Subject to the relevant terms of the Plan and this Agreement, as of the Grant Date, the Company has granted the Executive the number of PBRSUs set forth in the Award Letter (the “Goal Payout”). The maximum number of Shares that may be earned is equal to 125% of the Goal Payout (the “Maximum Payout”). The number of Shares actually earned, if any, shall depend on the Company’s performance during each of the Company’s three consecutive fiscal years beginning with the first full fiscal year commencing after the Grant Date (the “Performance Period”).

(b)    If the Minimum Performance Condition described in Section 3 is satisfied, the actual number of Shares earned will be determined by the Committee pursuant to the following formula established by the Committee to measure the Company’s performance during each full fiscal year of the Performance Period (the “Payout Formula):

(i)    The starting number of shares for each Tranche shall be equal to one third (1/3) of the Goal Payout (the “Tranche Goal Payout”). The actual number of Shares earned for each Tranche will be based on the Corporation’s Relative Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) rank, as calculated in Section 2(b)(ii) for the vesting date applicable to such Tranche, compared to the Retail Peer Group disclosed in its proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 19, 2014 (the “Peers”), according to the following schedule:

Payout Schedule
TSR Performance Ranking	Payout Percentage of the Tranche Goal Payout
1-5	125%
6-10	100%
11-15	75%

(ii)    TSR will be calculated using a hypothetical investment of $100 in the Company and each of its Peers as of August 12, 2014, and comparing it with the value at the end of the fiscal year immediately preceding the scheduled vesting dates set forth in Section 4(a), assuming the reinvestment of all dividends paid during the fiscal year; provided, however that the stock price of the Company and each of its Peers on August 12, 2014 and the end of the fiscal year immediately preceding each of the scheduled vesting dates set forth in Section 4(a) shall be deemed to be the average of each company’s stock price for the 90 calendar days immediately preceding the two applicable measurement dates.

(c)    The determination of the actual number of Shares earned for the Tranche of each full fiscal year of the Performance Period, which for each such fiscal year shall not exceed one third (1/3) of the Maximum Payout, shall occur as soon as practicable after completion of such fiscal year, but in any event not later than November 30 of the calendar year in which the such fiscal year of the Performance Period ends (each date the Committee so determines, a “Payout Determination Date”). All decisions of the Committee regarding the application of the Payout Formula and the number of Shares earned shall be final and binding on the Executive. Except as set forth in Section 6, the Award shall be cancelled and the Executive shall have no rights hereunder if any of the following occur: (i) the Committee determines on the Determination Date described in Section 3 that the Minimum Performance Condition has not been satisfied, or (ii) the Determination Date does not occur. If, after the Committee determines on the Determination Date described in Section 3 that the Minimum Performance Condition has been satisfied, a Payout Determination Date does not occur, then the amount of Shares in the Tranche attributable to that Payout Determination Date shall be equal to one third (1/3) of the Maximum Payout.

3.    Minimum Performance Condition. Except as set forth in Section 6, as a condition to the receipt of any Shares in settlement of the Award, the Company’s U.S. Segment Profit for the fiscal year ending on January 30, 2016 must be greater than $0 (the “Minimum Performance Condition”). The Committee shall determine whether the Minimum Performance Condition is satisfied as soon as practicable after completion of the fiscal year ending on

2.

January 30, 2016, but in any event not later than November 30, 2016 (the date the Committee so determines, the “Determination Date”).

4.    Vesting Schedule.

(a)    Subject to Section 4(b), the Shares earned during a full fiscal year of the Performance Period, in an amount determined by the Committee pursuant to the Payout Formula, shall vest on the second Wednesday of March of each of 2016, 2017 and 2018, respectively.

(b)    Notwithstanding Section 4(a), the Shares issuable under the PBRSUs shall vest on the earlier of: (i) the date that the conditions for an Accelerated Vesting Event set forth in Section 5 are satisfied, in which case, all of the outstanding unvested PBRSUs shall vest in the amount specified under the respective Accelerated Vesting Event; or (c) as specified in Sections 6.

(c)    Each date of vesting is referred to as a “Vesting Date”. All vested PBRSUs shall be paid out as provided in Section 10, in accordance with and subject to any restrictions set forth in this Agreement, the Plan or any Release Agreement the Executive may be required to enter pursuant to Section 5. “Release Agreement” means an agreement containing a release of claims, a covenant not to engage in competitive employment, and/or other provisions deemed appropriate by the Committee in its sole discretion.

5.    Accelerated Vesting Events. Upon the occurrence of one of the following events (each, an “Accelerated Vesting Event”), the outstanding unvested PBRSUs subject to this Agreement shall become vested as provided below:

(a)    Death. In the case of the Executive’s death prior to the Executive’s termination of Service, PBRSUs equal to 100% of the Goal Payout for any outstanding unvested PBRSUs shall vest (if the Minimum Performance Condition is satisfied) as of the later of (i) the Determination Date, or (ii) the date of the Executive’s death.

(b)    Disability. In the case of the Executive’s Disability prior to the Executive’s termination of Service, PBRSUs equal to 100% of the Goal Payout for any outstanding unvested PBRSUs shall vest (if the Minimum Performance Condition is satisfied) as of the later of (i) the Determination Date, or (ii) the date of the Executive’s Disability.

(c)    Involuntary Service Separation. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, and provided that within sixty (60) days of the Executive’s termination of Service the Company has received a valid unrevoked Release Agreement from the Executive, if the Executive’s Service is involuntarily terminated by the Company or a Subsidiary to which the Executive is providing Service (the “Service Recipient”) prior to the end of the Performance Period other than for Cause (an “Involuntary Service Separation”), then PBRSUs equal to 50% of the Goal Payout for any outstanding unvested PBRSUs shall vest (if the Minimum Performance Condition is satisfied) as of the later of (a) the Determination Date, or (b) the date of the Executive’s Involuntary Service Separation. All remaining PBRSUs shall be cancelled and the Executive shall have no rights to such cancelled PBRSUs.

3.

6.    Change in Control.

(a)    If a Change in Control occurs prior to the Determination Date or after a Committee determination on the Determination Date that the Minimum Performance Condition has been satisfied, the extent to which the PBRSUs shall vest shall be determined pursuant to the Plan. The Goal Payout shall be considered the number of outstanding PBRSUs granted under the Plan for purposes of Section 11(b)(2) of the Plan.

(b)    If, prior to a Change in Control, the Committee has determined on the Determination Date that the Minimum Performance Condition has not been satisfied, then the Award shall be cancelled and the Executive shall have no rights hereunder.

7.    Cause. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, if the Committee concludes, in its sole discretion, that the Executive’s Service was terminated in whole or in part for Cause, all of the PBRSUs subject to the Award that have not previously been converted to Shares shall terminate immediately and the Executive shall have no rights hereunder.

8.    Other Termination; Changes of Service. If the Executive’s termination of Service occurs at any time prior to the second Wednesday of March 2018 for any reason not meeting the conditions specified in Sections 5 through 7, all of the outstanding unvested PBRSUs subject to the Award shall terminate effective as of the date of termination of Service and the Executive shall have no rights hereunder. Service shall not be deemed terminated in the case of (a) any approved leave of absence, or (b) transfers among the Company and any Subsidiaries in the same Service Provider capacity; however, a termination of Service shall occur if (i) the relationship the Executive had with the Company or a Subsidiary at the Grant Date terminates, even if the Executive continues in another Service Provider capacity with the Company or a Subsidiary, or (ii) the Executive experiences a “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A.

9.    Dividend Equivalents. The Award is being granted with an equal number of dividend equivalents. Accordingly, the Executive shall have the right to receive additional PBRSUs with a value equal to the regular cash dividend paid on one Share for each PBRSU earned pursuant to this Agreement prior to the conversion of PBRSUs and issuance of Shares pursuant to Section 10. The dividend equivalents will be based on the actual number of PBRSUs earned pursuant to this Agreement. The number of additional PBRSUs to be received as dividend equivalents for each PBRSU held shall be determined by dividing the cash dividend per share by the Fair Market Value of one Share on the dividend payment date; provided, however, that for purposes of avoiding the issuance of fractional PBRSUs, on each dividend payment date the additional PBRSUs issued as dividend equivalents shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number. All such additional PBRSUs received as dividend equivalents shall be subject to forfeiture in the same manner and to the same extent as the original PBRSUs granted hereby, and shall be converted into Shares on the basis and at the time set forth in Section 10 hereof.

4.

10.    Conversion of PBRSUs and Issuance of Shares.

(a)    Timing. Vested PBRSUs shall be converted to Shares and shall be issued within 90 days following the earliest to occur of (i) the last day of each full fiscal year within the Performance Period, (ii) the Executive’s “separation from service” as such term is defined for purposes of Code Section 409A, (iii) the Executive’s death, or (iv) the Executive’s Disability (as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, provided such determination complies with the definition of disability under Code Section 409A). The Committee in its sole discretion may accelerate or delay the distribution of any payment under this Agreement to the extent allowed under Code Section 409A.

(b)    Limitation for Specified Employees. If any Shares shall be issuable with respect to the PBRSUs as a result of the Executive’s “separation from service” at such time as the Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, then no Shares shall be issued, except as permitted under Code Section 409A, prior to the first business day after the earlier of (i) the date that is six months after the Executive’s “separation from service”, or (ii) the Executive’s death.

(c)    Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control that constitutes a change in ownership or effective control of, or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of, the Company under Code Section 409A (a “409A Change in Control Event”), vested PBRSUs shall be converted to Shares and shall be issued within ten days after the Change in Control. For a Change in Control that is not a 409A Change in Control Event, the timing of the conversion of PBRSUs and issuance of underlying Shares shall be in accordance with Section 10(a).

(d)    Unvested PBRSUs. All of the PBRSUs subject to the Award that are unvested as of the time the vested PBRSUs are converted and Shares are issued under Section 10(a)(ii) shall terminate immediately and the Executive shall have no rights hereunder with respect to those unvested PBRSUs.

(e)    Code Section 409A. Payment of amounts under this Agreement are intended to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A and this Agreement shall in all respects be administered and construed to give effect to such intent.

11.    Taxes. The Executive acknowledges that (a) the ultimate liability for any and all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”) legally due by him or her is and remains the Executive’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company and/or the Service Recipient and (b) the Company and/or the Service Recipient or a former Service Recipient, as applicable, (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the PBRSUs, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting and/or conversion of the PBRSUs and issuance of Shares; (ii) do not commit and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the PBRSUs to reduce or eliminate the Executive’s liability for Tax-Related Items; (iii) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction if the Executive has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable event; and (iv) may refuse to deliver the Shares to the Executive if he or

5.

she fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items as provided in this Section.

The Executive authorizes and consents to the Company and/or the Service Recipient, or their respective agents, satisfying all applicable Tax-Related Items which the Company reasonably determines are legally payable by him or her by withholding from the Shares that would otherwise be delivered to the Executive the highest number of whole Shares that the Company determines has a value less than or equal to the aggregate applicable Tax-Related Items. In lieu thereof, the Executive may elect at the time of conversion of the PBRSUs such other then-permitted method or combination of methods established by the Company and/or the Service Recipient to satisfy the Executive’s Tax-Related Items.

12.    Limitations on Transfer. The Award shall not be sold, assigned, transferred, exchanged or encumbered by the Executive other than pursuant to the terms of the Plan.

13.    Recoupment Provision. In the event of a restatement of the Company’s consolidated financial statements that is caused, in whole or in part, by the intentional misconduct of the Executive, the Company may take one or more of the following actions with respect to the Award, as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) in its sole discretion, and the Executive shall be bound by such determination:

(a)    cancel all or a portion of the PBRSUs, whether vested or unvested, and any or all dividend equivalents related to the Award; and

(b)    require repayment of all or any portion of the amounts realized or received by the Executive resulting from the conversion of PBRSUs to Shares or the sale of Shares related to the Award.

The term “restatement” shall mean the result of revising financial statements previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission to reflect the correction of an error. The term “intentional misconduct” shall be limited to conduct that the Compensation Committee determines indicates intent to mislead management, the Board, or the Company’s shareholders, but shall not include good faith errors in judgment made by the Executive.

The Executive agrees that the Company may setoff any amounts it is entitled to recover under this Section against any amounts owed by the Company to the Executive under any of the Company’s deferred compensation plans to the extent permitted under Code Section 409A. The Executive further agrees that the terms of this Section shall survive the Executive’s termination of Service and any conversion of the Award into Shares. This Section 13 shall not apply, and no amounts may be recovered hereunder, following a Change in Control.

14.    No Employment Rights. Nothing in this Agreement, the Plan or the Award Letter shall confer upon the Executive any right to continued Service with the Company or any Subsidiary, as applicable, nor shall it interfere with or limit in any way any right of the Company or any Subsidiary, as applicable, to terminate the Executive’s Service at any time with or without Cause or change the Executive’s compensation, other benefits, job responsibilities or

6.

title provided in compliance with applicable local laws and permitted under the terms of the Executive’s Service contract, if any.

(a)    The Executive’s rights to vest in the PBRSUs or receive Shares after termination of Service shall be determined pursuant to Sections 4 through 10. Those rights and the Executive’s date of termination of Service will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active service would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar notice period pursuant to local law).

(b)    This Agreement, the Plan and the Award Letter are separate from, and shall not form, any part of the contract of Service of the Executive, or affect any of the rights and obligations arising from the Service relationship between the Executive and the Company and/or the Service Recipient.

(c)    No Service Provider has a right to participate in the Plan. All decisions with respect to future grants, if any, shall be at the sole discretion of the Company and/or the Service Recipient.

(d)    The Executive will have no claim or right of action in respect of any decision, omission or discretion which may operate to the disadvantage of the Executive.

15.    Nature of Grant. In accepting the grant, the Executive acknowledges, understands, and agrees that:

(a)    the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, unless otherwise provided in the Plan and this Agreement, and any such modification, amendment, suspension or termination will not constitute a constructive or wrongful dismissal;

(b)    the PBRSUs are extraordinary items and are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or welfare or retirement benefits or similar payments;

(c)    in no event should the PBRSUs be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Company or the Service Recipient, nor are the PBRSUs or the underlying Shares intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

(d)    the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;

(e)    the Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the Executive’s participation in the Plan or the PBRSUs;

(f)    no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the PBRSUs resulting from termination of the Executive’s Service (for any reason

7.

whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws), and in consideration of the grant of the PBRSUs to which the Executive is otherwise not entitled, the Executive irrevocably (i) agrees never to institute any such claim against the Company or the Service Recipient, (ii) waives the Executive’s ability, if any, to bring any such claim, and (iii) releases the Company and the Service Recipient from any such claim. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction, then, by participating in the Plan, the Executive shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such claim and agrees to execute any and all documents necessary to request dismissal or withdrawal of such claims; and

(g)    the Executive is hereby advised to consult with personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the PBRSUs or the Plan.

17.    Governing Law; Venue; Jurisdiction; Severability. To the extent that federal laws do not otherwise control, this Agreement, the Award Letter, the Plan and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant to the Plan shall be governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota without regard to its conflicts-of-law principles and shall be construed accordingly. The exclusive forum and venue for any legal action arising out of or related to this Agreement shall be the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota, and the parties submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court. If neither subject matter nor diversity jurisdiction exists in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota, then the exclusive forum and venue for any such action shall be the courts of the State of Minnesota located in Hennepin County, and the Executive, as a condition of this Agreement, consents to the personal jurisdiction of that court. If any provision of this Agreement, the Award Letter or the Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Agreement, the Award Letter or the Plan, and the Agreement, the Award Letter and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included.

18.    Imposition of Other Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Executive’s participation in the Plan, on the PBRSUs and on any Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Plan, and to require the Executive to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

19.    Plan and Award Letter Incorporated by Reference; Electronic Delivery. The Plan, as hereafter amended from time to time, and the Award Letter shall be deemed to be incorporated into this Agreement and are integral parts hereof. In the event there is any inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall govern. The Company or a third party designated by the Company may deliver to the Executive by electronic means any documents related to his or her participation in the Plan. The Executive acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and the Award Letter.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative Financial Instruments

Our derivative instruments primarily consist of interest rate swaps, which we use to mitigate interest rate risk. As a result of our use of derivative instruments, we have counterparty credit risk with large global financial institutions. We monitor this concentration of counterparty credit risk on an ongoing basis. See Note 2 for a description of the fair value measurement of our derivative instruments and their classification on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

In June 2014, we entered into two interest rate swaps, each with a notional amount of $500 million, under which we pay a variable rate and receive a fixed rate. In March 2014, we entered into an interest rate swap with a notional amount of $250 million, under which we pay a variable rate and receive a fixed rate. We designated these swaps as fair value hedges. As of August 3, 2013, one swap was designated as a fair value hedge. No ineffectiveness was recognized during the three or six months ended August 2, 2014 or August 3, 2013.

Periodic payments, valuation adjustments and amortization of gains or losses on our derivative contracts had the following effect on our Consolidated Statements of Operations:

Derivative Contracts - Effect on Results of Operations (millions)		Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
Type of Contract	Classification of (Income)/Expense	August 2, 2014			August 3, 2013			August 2, 2014			August 3, 2013
Interest rate swaps	Net interest expense	$	(9	)	$	(7	)	$	(13	)	$	(15	)

The amount remaining on unamortized hedged debt valuation gains from terminated or de-designated interest rate swaps that will be amortized into earnings over the remaining lives of the underlying debt totaled $43 million, $52 million and $63 million, at August 2, 2014, February 1, 2014 and August 3, 2013, respectively.

These contracts are among the investment vehicles used to reduce our economic exposure related to our nonqualified deferred compensation plans. Note 9 provides the details of our positions in prepaid forward contracts.

^(b)0.1 million and 0.2 million, respectively, of the shares repurchased were delivered upon the noncash settlement of prepaid forward contracts.

Other Benefits

We offer unfunded nonqualified deferred compensation plans to certain team members. We mitigate some of our risk of these plans through investing in vehicles, including company-owned life insurance and prepaid forward contracts in our own common stock, that offset a substantial portion of our economic exposure to the returns of these plans. These investment vehicles are general corporate assets and are marked to market with the related gains and losses recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period they occur.

The total change in fair value for contracts indexed to our own common stock recognized in earnings was pretax losses of $5 million and pretax income of $2 million for the three and six months ended August 2, 2014, respectively, and pretax income of $1 million and $12 million for the three and six months ended August 3, 2013. During the six months ended August 2, 2014 we made no investments in prepaid forward contracts in our own common stock. During the six months ended August 3, 2013, we invested $6 million in such investment instruments. Adjusting our position in these investment vehicles may involve repurchasing shares of Target common stock when settling the forward contracts as described in Note 8. The settlement dates of these instruments are regularly renegotiated with the counterparty.

We review long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances, such as a decision to relocate or close a store, make significant software changes or discontinue projects, indicate that the asset's carrying value may not be recoverable. For the three and six months ended August 2, 2014 and August 3, 2013, we recorded impairments primarily from decisions to discontinue projects and completed or planned land sales and store closures.

Credit Card Receivables Transaction

Credit Card Receivables Transaction

Credit Card Receivables Transaction

In March 2013, we sold our entire U.S. consumer credit card portfolio to TD Bank Group (TD) and recognized a gain of $391 million. This transaction was accounted for as a sale, and the receivables are no longer reported in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. Consideration received included cash of $5.7 billion, equal to the gross (par) value of the outstanding receivables at the time of closing, and a $225 million beneficial interest asset.  Concurrent with the sale, we repaid the nonrecourse debt collateralized by credit card receivables (2006/2007 Series Variable Funding Certificate) at par of $1.5 billion, resulting in net cash proceeds of $4.2 billion.

TD now underwrites, funds and owns Target Credit Card and Target Visa consumer receivables in the U.S. TD controls risk management policies and oversees regulatory compliance, and we perform account servicing and primary marketing functions. We earn a substantial portion of the profits generated by the Target Credit Card and Target Visa portfolios. We classify this profit-sharing income in SG&A expense in the U.S. Segment.

^(a) The U.S. Segment also earned credit card revenue prior to the close of the transaction.

^(b) On a consolidated basis, profit-sharing income is offset by reductions of the beneficial interest asset.

The $225 million beneficial interest asset effectively represents a receivable for the present value of future profit-sharing we expect to receive on the receivables sold. Profit-sharing payments reduced the beneficial interest asset by $19 million and $39 million during the three and six months ended August 2, 2014, respectively, and $31 million and $45 million during the three and six months ended August 3, 2013. Revaluation adjustments increased the asset by $8 million and $10 million during the three and six months ended August 2, 2014, respectively, and increased the asset by $2 million during the three months ended August 3, 2013. There was no net revaluation adjustment for the six months ended August 3, 2013. As of August 2, 2014 and August 3, 2013, a beneficial interest asset of $98 million and $180 million, respectively, remains and is recorded within other current assets and other noncurrent assets in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

In June 2014, we issued $1 billion of unsecured fixed rate debt at 2.3% that matures in June 2019 and $1 billion of unsecured fixed rate debt at 3.5% that matures in July 2024. We used proceeds from these issuances to repurchase $725 million of debt at a market value of $1 billion and for general corporate purposes, including the payment of $1 billion of debt maturities. We recognized a loss of $285 million on the early retirement, which was recorded in net interest expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Concurrent with the sale of our credit card receivables portfolio in March 2013, we repaid $1.5 billion of nonrecourse debt collateralized by credit card receivables (the 2006/2007 Series Variable Funding Certificate). We also used $1.4 billion of proceeds from the transaction to repurchase at market value an additional $970 million of debt during the first quarter of 2013. We recognized a loss on this early retirement of $445 million, which was recorded in net interest expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Data Breach

6 Months Ended

Aug. 02, 2014

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]

Data Breach

Data Breach

In the fourth quarter of 2013, we experienced a data breach in which an intruder stole certain payment card and other guest information from our network (the Data Breach). Based on our investigation to date, we believe that the intruder installed malware on our point-of-sale system in our U.S. stores and stole payment card data from up to approximately 40 million credit and debit card accounts of guests who shopped at our U.S. stores between November 27 and December 17, 2013. In addition, the intruder stole certain guest information, including names, mailing addresses, phone numbers or email addresses, for up to 70 million individuals.

Payment Card Network Loss Contingencies

In the event of a data breach where payment card data is or may have been stolen, the payment card networks’ contracts purport to give them the ability to make claims for reimbursement of incremental counterfeit fraud losses and non-ordinary course operating expenses (such as card reissuance costs) that the payment card networks believe they or their issuing banks have incurred as a result of the event. For us to have liability for such claims, we believe that a court would have to find that, among other things, (1) at the time of the Data Breach the portion of our network that handles payment card data was noncompliant with applicable data security standards in a manner that contributed to the Data Breach, and (2) the network operating rules around reimbursement of operating costs and counterfeit fraud losses are enforceable. While an independent third-party assessor found the portion of our network that handles payment card data to be compliant with applicable data security standards in the fall of 2013, the forensic investigator working on behalf of the payment card networks claimed in first quarter 2014 that we were not in compliance with those standards at the time of the Data Breach.

During the second quarter of 2014, payment card networks composing a substantial portion of impacted payment cards made preliminary written or oral claims against us. We believe it is probable that the remaining payment card networks will also make claims against us. We expect to dispute the claims that have been or may be made against us, and we think it is probable that our disputes would lead to settlement negotiations consistent with the experience of other entities that suffered similar payment card breaches. We believe such negotiations would effect a combined settlement of the payment card networks' counterfeit fraud loss allegations and their non-ordinary course operating expense allegations. Our accruals for estimated probable loss discussed below include what we believe to be the vast majority of both actual and potential claims from the payment card networks.

Litigation and Governmental Investigations

In addition, more than 100 actions have been filed in courts in many states, along with one action in Canada, and other claims have been or may be asserted against us on behalf of guests, payment card issuing banks, shareholders or others seeking damages or other related relief allegedly arising out of the Data Breach. State and federal agencies, including the State Attorneys General, the Federal Trade Commission and the SEC, are investigating events related to the Data Breach, including how it occurred, its consequences and our responses. Our accruals for estimated probable loss discussed below include what we believe to be the vast majority of both actual and potential claims from these matters.

Expenses Incurred and Amounts Accrued

Data Breach Balance Sheet Rollforward (millions)	Liabilities			Insurance receivable

Payments made/received	(19		)	(7		)
Balance at August 2, 2014	$	182		$	70

^(a) Includes expenditures and accruals for Data Breach-related costs and expected insurance recoveries as discussed below.

In the second quarter of 2014, we recorded $148 million of pretax Data Breach-related expenses and expected insurance proceeds of $38 million, for net expenses of $111 million. These expenses were included in our Consolidated Statements of Operations as Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A), but were not part of our segment results. Along with legal and other professional services, these expenses included an increase to the accrual for estimated probable losses for what we believe to be the vast majority of actual and potential breach-related claims, including claims by the payment card networks. Our probable loss estimate is based on the expectation of reaching negotiated settlements, and not on any determination that it is probable we would be found liable for the losses we have accrued were these claims to be litigated. Given the varying stages of claims and related proceedings, and the inherent uncertainty surrounding them, our estimates involve significant judgment and are based on currently available information, historical precedents and an assessment of the validity of certain claims. Our estimates may change as new information becomes available and, although we do not believe it is probable, it is reasonably possible that we may incur a material loss in excess of the amount accrued. We are not able to estimate the amount of such reasonably possible excess loss exposure at this time because many of the matters are in the early stages, alleged damages have not been specified, and there are significant factual and legal issues to be resolved. The accrual does not reflect future breach-related legal, consulting or administrative fees, which are expensed as incurred and not expected to be material to our consolidated financial statements in any individual period.

During the six months ended August 2, 2014, we recorded $175 million of Data Breach-related expenses, partially offset by expected insurance proceeds of $46 million, for net expenses of $129 million. Since the Data Breach, we have incurred $236 million of cumulative expenses, partially offset by expected insurance recoveries of $90 million, for net cumulative expenses of $146 million.

Insurance Coverage

To limit our exposure to losses relating to data breach and other claims, we maintain $100 million of network-security insurance coverage, above a $10 million deductible and with a $50 million sublimit for settlements with the payment card networks. This coverage, and certain other customary business-insurance coverage, has reduced our exposure related to the Data Breach. We will pursue recoveries to the maximum extent available under the policies. As of August 2, 2014, we have received $20 million from our network-security insurance carriers.
