Schedule TO filed July 18, 2014

Exhibit (a)(5)(B) Investor Presentation dated July 2014

 

1.We note your response to prior comments one and nine from our letter dated July 17, 2014 and your statement that the disclosed plan to double your store count requires the use of proceeds from the transaction. Please disclose the amount of proceeds you assume you will receive from the transaction and provide us with the basis for such assumption. In this regard we note the possibility that you will receive less than $10 million, as highlighted in response to comment one.

 

The disclosure on page 19 of the presentation has been revised to provide that the proceeds from the transaction has the potential to allow the Target to exceed the store openings specified in the stand-alone projections, but that the actual number would depend on the amount of proceeds from the transcation.

 

Should you have any questions concerning any of the foregoing please contact me by telephone at (212) 407-4866.

 

Sincerely,

 

/s/ Giovanni Caruso
