        <footnote id="F1">Shares held in the Target Corporation 401(k) Plan as of September 1, 2006.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">Acquired pursuant to the Target Corporation Executive Deferred Compensation Plan  (the &quot;Plan&quot;).  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.  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 free to transfer plan balances into other crediting rate alternatives at any time.  The Plan balances represent unsecured general obligations of Target Corporation, and the units are payable solely in cash.  In addition, Plan participants receive additional credits to their account balances which equate to an additional 2 percent return, in part to compensate for the credit risk incurred by participation in the Plan.</footnote>
