Insights

Routine sale alongside deferred compensation allocation; net effect is modest.

The filing shows Matthew A. Liegel, Target’s Chief Accounting Officer, reallocating compensation and equity exposure. He acquired 2,112.1249 deferred compensation units economically equivalent to Target shares under a non-share-settled plan, while also selling 2,053 common shares in the market.

The deferred compensation units are indexed to Target’s stock fund but remain unsecured cash obligations of the company, not actual shares.

Explanation of Responses:
1. Price is the volume weighted average selling price of all sales by the reporting person on the transaction date within a one dollar range. Actual prices ranged from $117.1900 to $117.2000. The reporting person hereby undertakes to provide upon request of the Commission staff, the issuer, or a security holder of the issuer, full information regarding the number of shares sold at each separate price.
2. Deferred compensation units are held under the Target Corporation Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Plan"). Under the terms of the Plan, participants' deferred compensation balances are indexed to various crediting rate alternatives, as chosen by them. The units reported relate to the Target common stock crediting rate alternative, and each unit is the economic equivalent of one share of Target common stock. The value of such units increases or decreases daily in accordance with an equivalent investment in the Target Stock Fund in the corporation's 401(k) plan. Participants are generally free to transfer plan balances into other crediting rate alternatives at any time. The Plan balances represent unsecured general obligations of Target Corporation, and are payable solely in cash.
3. The transaction represents the reporting person's discretionary acquisition of units of the Target common stock rate alternative under the Plan referenced in footnote 2, and is the economic equivalent of the purchase of the same number of shares of Target common stock.
4. Includes investment earnings/losses since the reporting person's Form 4 filing on May 24, 2022, that previously reported these deferred compensation units.
