Situation Overview

Pershing Square 5 Pershing Square is a long-term Target shareholder Pershing Square initiated its investment in Target in April 2007 We are the third largest beneficial owner of Target We have ownership of 7.8% of Target ~$1 billion of common stock (3.3% of the company) ~$280 million in stock options (4.5% of the company)(1) Target is the largest investment in Pershing Square's portfolio (1) Unless and until these options are exercised, the underlying shares do not carry voting rights.

---

 

6 Situation Overview On March 17, 2009, Pershing Square announced the nomination of five independent directors for the open seats on Target's board We did so principally because we believe that the incumbent Target board lacks: Sufficient relevant experience Significant shareholder representation Our goal in this election: Improve Target's board and consequently, help make Target a stronger, more profitable, and more valuable company

Target Board Lacks Sufficient Relevant Experience Credit Card Business Real Estate Assets Over 200 million sq ft of retail real estate Retail Business Target's Current Board (1) NO Retail senior operating experience NO Real Estate senior operating experience NO Credit Card senior operating experience (1) Pershing Square defines senior operating experience as experience in a specific line of business with the director having served as the CEO of a company in that business for a meaningful period of time during his or her career. Pershing Square's view is not only based on the length of time served by a specific director in the relevant business line, but also on the extent, nature and specialization of each director's service and the principal responsibilities during that service. 8 Our view of

Target's Independent Directors Incumbent Nominees 9 The average tenure of the independent directors is approximately 9 years. The average tenure of the incumbent nominees is approximately 10 years

Board Lacks Significant Shareholder Representation Target's board lacks significant shareholder representation, owning less than 0.3% of the company. Independent directors own less than 0.1% of the company Board Members 10 Source: Target proxy

---

 

11 We believe that the deficit of relevant experience and the lack of significant shareholder representation on Target's board has contributed to the company's material underperformance during this recession

Underperformance Relative to Wal-Mart Target Down 51% Wal-Mart Up 11% 12 From the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2007 to the day prior to our announcement of our proposed slate, Target stock declined by 51%. Over the same period, the stock of Wal-Mart, Target's principal competitor, appreciated 11%, a ~62 percentage point outperformance Stock price returns Measured on a 10-year trailing basis ending on the day prior to the announcement of the Nominees for Shareholder Choice, Wal-Mart's stock price outperformed Target's stock price by approximately 18%.

Target's Credit Card Business: Poor Performance 15 Target's credit card segment has performed poorly, with credit card operating profits declining 65% in 2008, predominantly, in our view, due to bad underwriting decisions amplified by increased credit risk Credit Card EBIT Credit Card EBIT as a % of average receivables 65% drop Source: Company filings $ in millions

Wal-Mart's Board Has Deep, Relevant Experience Real Estate Wal-Mart owns a lower percentage of its stores than Target Retail Business Current Board Allen Questrom, former CEO of JCPenney, Neiman Marcus, Federated Department Stores Roger Corbett, retired CEO of Woolworths, Australia's leading retail company Arne Sorenson, EVP and CFO of Marriott International We note that Wal-Mart partnered with a financial institution for its store credit card years ago. It does not own credit card receivables and has none of the material risks associated with these assets 16

---

 

Questions to Ask Why doesn't Target have board members with CEO-level experience in retail, credit cards, and real estate? Isn't the board accountable for the poor results of the credit card segment, particularly when Pershing Square urged Target to reduce credit risk in the business? Why is the average tenure of Target's incumbent nominees approximately a decade? 17

---

 

18 With a greater degree of relevant experience and improved shareholder representation, we believe Target's board can prevent future missteps, assist in strategic decision-making, and create greater shareholder value over the long term The Nominees for Shareholder Choice have, in our view, the relevant experience to accomplish these objectives

20 Nominees Are Entirely Independent Jim Donald, Richard Vague, Michael Ashner, and Ron Gilson are independent nominees with no commercial relationships with Target or Pershing Square Each is a highly regarded leader in his area of expertise Each has his own unique perspective, background, and ideas Pershing Square has no agreements, understandings, or arrangements with the Nominees for Shareholder Choice, other than they have agreed, if elected, to serve on the board (1) The Nominees for Shareholder Choice have only one common goal: to help oversee the management of Target for the purpose of creating long-term value for all stakeholders The Nominees for Shareholder Choice are entirely independent and have no preconceived agenda other than to maximize shareholder value If elected, the Nominees for Shareholder Choice will represent the interests of all shareholders using their own independent business judgment (1) Other than customary indemnifications and expense reimbursement arrangements.

Vote For Management and Improving the Board Voting for the Nominees For Shareholder Choice is NOT a vote against management We are supportive of management Our goal is to improve Target's board Even with the best management team, a company must have directors who can draw upon their own experience to challenge, help shape, or otherwise add value to management's operating or strategic plans Ultimately, with a better board, we believe Target will become a more valuable and profitable company 21 A vote for the Nominees For Shareholder Choice is a vote for management and an opportunity to improve Target's board

22 We strongly believe that the Nominees for Shareholder Choice are better prepared than the incumbent slate to help management navigate through a challenging economic environment that may last for several years Vote for the Nominees for Shareholder Choice

Food Retailing: Jim Donald

Food Retailing is A Critical Growth Initiative Food retailing represents a critical strategic growth initiative for Target. We and the company believe that an expanded food presence can help Target increase the frequency of visits from its customers and generate higher and more predictable sales 25

---

 

Food: Critical Strategic Growth Initiative 26 "We continue to focus on food as a priority and as we've talked in the past, each iteration of our prototype and remodels we have expanded the footprint in the store and our commitment to the business in general. And if you go back five or seven years ago, we had on average in a new store approximately 16 or 18 sides of food in a new store or remodeled store; today it would be in the neighborhood of 34 sides of food. So, we've nearly doubled our commitment to food over a five to seven-year timeframe." Gregg Steinhafel, CEO Target 2Q'07 Earnings Call, 8/21/07

Food: Critical Strategic Growth Initiative (cont'd) "We also continue to invest in our food offering in recognition of its importance in driving greater frequency, increasing guest loyalty, and making Target a preferred shopping destination." Gregg Steinhafel, CEO Target 4Q'08 Earnings Call, 2/24/09 27

---

 

Increasing Food Could Help Sales Significantly Target Wal-Mart US 28 Source: Company filings In our view, Target's more limited food offering partially explains why Target's same-store-sales growth rate has been considerably weaker than Wal-Mart's in every quarter since Q4 2007 Year-over-Year Growth Rate of Quarterly Same Store Sales

Jim Donald: Food Retailing Leader Jim Donald served as the CEO of Starbucks Corporation from April 2005 until January 2008. He joined Starbucks in October 2002 as President, North America. Jim served as Chairman, President and CEO of Pathmark Stores, Inc. from 1996 until joining Starbucks in 2005. Jim served as President and Manager of Safeway Inc.'s 130-store Eastern Division from 1994 to 1996. He was responsible for a $2.5 billion business, comprised of 10,000 employees working at 130 stores and two distribution centers. From 1991 until joining Safeway in 1994, Jim was an executive at Wal-Mart Stores, Inc, were he worked on the development and expansion of the Wal-Mart Super Center, supervising all merchandising, distribution, store design and real estate operations. Jim began his career in 1971 as a trainee with Publix Super Markets, Inc. He joined Albertson's in 1976 and quickly rose through its managerial ranks in the Florida, Alabama and Texas divisions.

Opportunities to Make Target More Profitable Given the marked differences in profitability between Target and Wal-Mart, we believe there are opportunities to improve Target's retail margins. Having Jim Donald, an experienced retail operator, on the board can only help Target become a more profitable company, in our view 31

Credit Cards: Richard Vague

Target Initially Resisted a Transaction for its Receivables 34 "There have been a number of recent transactions where retailers have exited direct ownership of their receivables and entered into relationships with large financial institutions to manage their programs. Many of you have asked why we don't simply follow suit and pursue this course that seems like, to some of you, like a path of least resistance. I want to be very clear, as I walk through the next several visuals, that we have no intention of following this path..." "So, in summary, we believe that these card operations, deeply integrated with our core retail operations, represent a stable, predictable and very profitable sub-enterprise for us, and ultimately as deeply integral as these operations are to our retail operations, [we] have neither a strategic nor a financial benefit in mind in engaging in any kind of transactions such as the hypothetical one that I just walked through with you." Doug Scovanner, CFO Financial Community Meeting on Target's Credit Card Operations, 11/17/06

---

 

35 "We have consistent performance ... and we're enjoying double-digit growth rates," Scovanner said. "No one else in the credit-card arena has those attributes. For the life of me, I don't understand why those attributes in combination would cause anyone to want to get into an active mode of analyzing a sale." Star Tribune, dated July 15, 2007 Initially Resisted a Transaction for its Receivables (cont'd)

36 Pershing Square Urged Target to Transfer Credit Risk On August 2, 2007, Pershing Square first met with Target management to discuss a credit card partnership transaction with a financial institution that would materially reduce credit and funding risk Thereafter, in multiple calls and a meeting in December 2007, Pershing Square endeavored to convince Target to transfer the credit and funding risks associated with its credit card operation to a partnering financial institution In May, 2008, Target sold a 47% interest in its credit card receivables to JPMorgan Chase Target elected, however, to retain substantially all of the credit risk and more than half of the funding risks associated with this business segment because of its insistence on retaining underwriting control We believe this decision was ill-advised, and shareholders have suffered as a result

---

 

We Believe Target Made Poor Underwriting Decisions "Average receivables grew 19.6% over last year, faster than our pace of sales primarily due to changing the product features for yet another group of our higher credit quality Target card accounts to become higher limit Target Visa accounts." Doug Scovanner, CFO Q3'07 conference call, 11/20/2007 37 In the summer of 2007, Target converted a large portion of its private label Target card accounts (typically lower FICO score customers with lower credit limits) to Target VISA accounts, thereby giving lower quality credit customers significantly higher credit limits and lower rates. We believe this was a mistake

The Results: Significant Profit Declines 38 In our view, as a result of poor underwriting decisions and exposure to credit risk, Target's credit card operating profits declined 65% in 2008 Credit Card EBIT Credit Card EBIT as a % of average receivables 65% drop $ in millions

Questions to Ask Given the stock market's discounted valuation of Target's vast real estate holdings, wouldn't shareholders want to investigate opportunities to create value? Pershing Square made several suggestions to Target, including a tax-free 19.9% REIT IPO, which Pershing Square believed would Improve Target's access to the capital markets Maintain its strong investment grade credit ratings Allow Target to maintain control over its buildings and brand Highlight the value of Target's greater than 200 million sq ft of real estate Pershing Square's past suggestions may not have been the perfect solution, but why haven't Target and its advisors attempted to improve upon these suggestions or devise ideas of their own? 47

Target: Avoiding the Real Issues We believe the Real Issue of this election is that Target's board is suboptimal Lacks significant relevant senior operating experience No significant shareholder representation The challenging economic environment, which may continue for many years, requires the highest quality board possible In our view, Target has not addressed this issue satisfactorily Instead, the company, its advisors and PR team have publicly made what we believe to be misleading statements to dissuade investors from focusing on the CORE ISSUES 58

"Favoring Risk Taking" Pershing Square's sizeable derivative position creates an incentive for risk taking Target is Pershing Square's largest investment Pershing Square owns $1 billion in common stock and $280 million in stock options Unlike the incumbent board, Pershing Square paid cash for its stock options and can extend the life of the options Target's management and the board have a greater percentage of their ownership in derivatives than Pershing Square Pershing Square has been a major buyer of Target shares in recent years unlike members of senior management Gregg Steinhafel, had not purchased one share of stock during the last five years until 3/18/09 - one day after we nominated directors for the board.

"Risky Agenda" Target's misleading stance: Pershing Square has launched a proxy contest to push its real estate agenda The ACTUAL FACTS: The Nominees for Shareholder Choice are entirely independent There is no "Bill Ackman slate" The independent nominees have no pre-conceived real estate agenda Even if all of the Nominees for Shareholder Choice are elected, two-thirds of Target's current board will remain, providing board room continuity Bill Ackman supports exploration of real estate ideas - if you don't like them, don't vote for him. You can still vote for Jim Donald, Richard Vague, Michael Ashner, and Ronald Gilson This election is not about "Bill Ackman" but rather about choosing board members with relevant experience and helping Target become more valuable and profitable "Bill Ackman's slate of nominees..." 60

Credit Ratings and Risk Since our first meeting with management, Pershing Square has urged Target to decrease credit risk Target instead chose to maintain credit exposure to the credit card business In Pershing Square's view, Target can be an enormously valuable company without the need to over-leverage its business Pershing Square believes that positioning the company so that it can increase its access to capital may allow it to take advantage of distressed real estate opportunities that could result from the current shakeout in the retail industry Bill Ackman, if elected, does not intend to support any action that will impair Target's credit ratings 61

"Hasty Selection" Questions to Ask Target: Why are the current independent board members the most qualified to serve on the board of Target, a retail and credit card company? Why does Target's board continue to nominate its own members and not conduct a professional search for those with relevant senior operating experience? Hasty selection of candidates by Pershing Square is inconsistent with a professional search required by good corporate governance The Nominees for Shareholder Choice are leaders in food retailing, credit cards, real estate, shareholder value, and corporate governance The credibility, experience, reputation, and integrity of the Nominees for Shareholder Choice speak for themselves Target's misleading stance: Our Response: 62
