See accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. 3 NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED Dayton Hudson Corporation FINANCIAL STATEMENTS and Subsidiaries ACCOUNTING POLICIES The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statement disclosures contained in the Corporation's 1993 Annual Shareholders' Report throughout pages 21-32. As explained on page 31 therein, the same accounting policies are followed in preparing quarterly financial data as are followed in preparing annual data. In the opinion of management, 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 the retail industry, earnings for periods which exclude the Christmas season are not indicative of the operating results that may be expected for the full fiscal year. MERCHANDISE INVENTORIES The last-in, first-out (LIFO) provision, included in cost of retail sales, for the three- and nine-month periods ended October 29, 1994 was a credit of $10 million ($.08 per share) compared to charges of $3 million ($.02 per share) and $15 million ($.13 per share), respectively, for the same periods in 1993. The cumulative LIFO provision was $70 million at October 29, 1994, $80 million at January 29, 1994 and $186 million at October 30, 1993. LONG-TERM DEBT Beginning with the first quarter of 1994, commercial paper is classified as long-term debt because it is supported by the Corporation's revolving credit agreement of $600 million which expires in 1999. Commercial paper will be classified as long-term, provided the term of the related credit agreement exceeds one year and to the extent any unused commitments thereunder equal or exceed the amount of commercial paper outstanding. At October 29, 1994, $995 million of commercial paper was outstanding, of which $600 million was classified as long-term debt. SUBSEQUENT EVENT Subsequent to the third quarter end, the Corporation announced that it will consolidate the credit operations of Mervyn's and the Department Store Division. A pre-tax charge of approximately $10 million, or $.08 per share, will be recorded in the fourth quarter. The charge primarily represents severance, benefits and outplacement services for approximately 500 employees. The consolidation is expected to be completed by Fall 1995. 4 PER SHARE DATA Primary earnings per share are computed by dividing net earnings less dividend requirements on ESOP preferred stock (net of tax benefits related to unallocated shares) by the average common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during the period. Fully diluted earnings per share assumes conversion of the ESOP preferred stock (net of tax benefits related to unallocated shares) into common stock. Additionally, it assumes adjustment of net earnings for the additional expense required to fund the ESOP debt service resulting from the assumed replacement of the ESOP preferred dividends with common stock dividends. References to earnings per share relate to fully diluted earnings per share. 5 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION THIRD QUARTER 1994 ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONS Third quarter net earnings increased 54% to $67 million versus $43 million for the third quarter last year. Fully diluted earnings per share were $.83 for the third quarter compared with $.53 per share last year. For the nine-month period net earnings were $155 million, an increase of 59% over last year's net earnings of $97 million. Fully diluted earnings per share were $1.90 for the nine-month period compared with $1.15 last year. The following table illustrates the impact of the major factors contributing to the changes in earnings per share:
Three Nine Months Months ------ ------ 1993 Earnings Per Share $ .53 $1.15 Changes in earnings per share: Revenues .22 .56 Gross margin rate .10 .45 Operating expense rate (.03) (.08) Start-up expense (.04) (.15) Interest expense, net .03 .13 One-time tax adjustment (a) .05 .05 Corporate expense and other, net (.03) (.21) ----- ----- 1994 Earnings Per Share $ .83 $1.90 ====================================== ===== ===== (a) 1993 included a one-time after-tax charge as a result of applying the higher statutory tax rate to deferred tax balances.
Third quarter earnings were essentially as expected, led by Target's continued strong performance. Mervyn's continued to improve off last year's low base, while the Department Store Division's (DSD) results were slightly below expectations. The revenue increase reflects strong sales volume growth at Target and higher finance charge revenue associated with lowering of minimum payment terms on DSD-named credit cards, which are accepted at DSD and Target stores. The overall gross margin rate was favorable to last year, reflecting improved markdowns at Mervyn's and Target partially offset by lower markup at all divisions. The overall operating expense rate was slightly higher than last year, despite strong sales leverage at Target. Due to significant growth at Target, our lowest margin division, overall revenue growth and the operating expense rate were favorably affected, while the gross margin rate was unfavorably affected. If the revenue mix had remained constant with the third quarter and nine-month period of 1993, the gross margin rate variance would have been $.20 and $.70, respectively, and the operating expense rate variance would have been $(.12) and $(.37), respectively. 6 Revenues -------- For the three- and nine-month periods ended October 29, 1994, total revenues increased 9% and 11%, respectively. Comparable-store revenues (revenues from stores open longer than a year) increased 3% and 5%, respectively. Revenues by business segment were as follows:
Three Months Ended Percentage Change ------------------ ------------------- OCT. 29, Oct. 30, All Comparable (Millions of Dollars) 1994 1993 Stores Stores -------- -------- ------- ---------- Target $ 3,143 $ 2,741 15% 6% Mervyn's 1,103 1,091 1 (2) Department Store Division 800 793 1 1 ------- ------- -- -- Total $ 5,046 $ 4,625 9% 3% ======= ======= == == Nine Months Ended Percentage Change ----------------- ------------------- OCT. 29, Oct. 30, All Comparable 1994 1993 Stores Stores ------- ------- ------ ---------- Target $ 9,046 $ 7,807 16% 7% Mervyn's 3,114 3,055 2 (1) Department Store Division 2,153 2,090 3 3 ------- ------- -- -- Total $14,313 $12,952 11% 5% ======= ======= == ==
Target's strong third quarter revenue growth reflects solid base business growth, new store openings and good overall merchandising execution. While Mervyn's total revenues were up only 1% for the third quarter, we are pleased with the progress made toward the refinement of pricing and promotion strategies associated with its commitment to offering customers competitive prices. DSD's total and comparable-store revenues rose slightly in the third quarter primarily due to added promotional events, which were somewhat offset by unseasonably warm weather in the Midwest. Operating Profit ---------------- Both Target and Mervyn's contributed to the strong increase in operating profit while DSD's operating profit remained essentially unchanged for the third quarter compared to the same period last year. (Operating profit is LIFO earnings from operations before corporate expense, interest and income taxes.) For the nine-month period, operating profit increased 17% reflecting solid increases at all three operating companies. 7 TARGET produced a significant increase in operating profit for the three- and nine-month periods ended October 29, 1994 compared with the same periods last year. The increases were primarily due to strong revenue performance. The gross margin rates improved over last year reflecting lower markdowns partially offset by lower markup related to the refinement of the value pricing strategy. The operating expense rates improved slightly primarily due to sales leverage. MERVYN'S operating profit, for the third quarter and nine-month period, increased significantly as expected over last year's weak base. The gross margin rates improved for both the quarter and year-to-date periods reflecting a reduction in markdowns, somewhat offset by lower markup associated with the focus on competitive pricing. Both the markdown and markup changes were not as significant for the quarter compared with the year-to-date trend, as Mervyn's competitive pricing strategy is beginning to annualize. The operating expense rates deteriorated in both periods reflecting higher advertising expenses and lower sales leverage. DSD'S operating profit for the third quarter was approximately equal to a year ago and for the nine-month period showed a solid increase compared with the same period last year. The gross margin rate for the third quarter was essentially unchanged versus last year. The operating profit improvement for the nine-month period was led by an improved gross margin rate due to lower markdowns while the operating expense rate was higher, reflecting increased advertising expenses. Other Performance Factors ------------------------- The LIFO provision, for the three- and nine-month periods ended October 29, 1994 was a credit of $10 million ($.08 per share) compared to charges of $3 million ($.02 per share) and $15 million ($.13 per share), respectively, for the same periods in 1993. The reduced provision reflects the Company's expectations that the full year LIFO provision will be a credit resulting from modest rates of deflation across broad product lines and higher inventory levels associated with new store growth. Our internally-generated retail price indices capture the ongoing impact of our value-pricing strategies. In the fourth quarter of 1993, Mervyn's and DSD adopted the use of the internally-generated price indices for the LIFO inventory valuation. Net interest expense for the third quarter declined $4 million from a year ago ($.03 per share) due to a lower average interest rate on our debt portfolio. For the nine-month period, net interest expense decreased $18 million ($.14 per share) as a result of lower financing requirements and a lower average interest rate. Looking forward, we expect the trend of lower average interest rates on our debt portfolio to continue for the balance of 1994 and into 1995. For the third quarter 1994, the estimated annual effective income tax rate was 39% versus 37.8% in 1993, excluding the 1993 $4 million one-time after-tax charge associated with applying the higher federal tax rate to deferred tax balances. The increase in the 1994 rate reflects higher state tax rates and increased earnings diluting the effect of permanent deductions. 8 ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION Our financial condition remains strong. Our ratio of debt (including the present value of operating leases) to total capitalization was 61% at the end of third quarter 1994 compared with 63% a year ago and 59% at year-end. The debt ratio is generally at its highest point at the end of the third quarter due to the seasonal inventory build-up. We expect the debt ratio to continue declining toward the mid-point of our financial policy range of 45% to 65%. At October 29, 1994, working capital was $1,579 million, or 14% higher than a year ago. Accounts receivable increased 16% compared to a year ago and were essentially unchanged from the seasonally high year-end balances reflecting improved sales and the lowering of minimum payment terms on DSD's proprietary cards. Merchandise inventories and accounts payable increased 10% and 21%, respectively, compared to third quarter 1993 due primarily to new store growth. Compared to year-end, merchandise inventories and accounts payable were 47% and 42% higher, respectively, primarily reflecting the seasonal build-up of inventories and new store growth. Capital expenditures for the nine-month period were $796 million, compared with $724 million for the same period a year ago. Approximately 80% of these expenditures were made by Target, 12% by Mervyn's and 8% by DSD. For the total year, capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $1.1 billion. Capital investment in 1995 is expected to be approximately $1.3 billion for the construction of new stores, remodeling of existing stores and upgrading of systems and technology. Target plans to open 60 to 70 new stores primarily in existing markets, Mervyn's plans to open four new stores and DSD will open one new Marshall Field's store. STORE DATA ---------- At October 29, 1994 Target operated 611 stores in 32 states, Mervyn's operated 286 stores in 15 states and DSD operated 63 stores in nine states. 9 PART II.

Stock Options may be either Non-Qualified Options or Incentive Stock Options. 2.19 Subsidiary Corporation. For purposes of this Plan, the term "Subsidiary" or "Subsidiary Corporation" means any corporation (other than the Company) in an unbroken chain of corporations beginning with the Company, in which each of the corporations other than the last corporation in the unbroken chain owns stock possessing fifty percent or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock in one of the other corporations in such chain as determined at the point in time when reference is made to such "Subsidiary" or "Subsidiary Corporation" in this Plan. 2.20 Change in Control.

ARTICLE III GRANTING OF STOCK OPTIONS, PERFORMANCE SHARES AND RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS TO PARTICIPANTS 3.1 Eligible Employees. Stock Options, Restricted Stock Awards or Performance Shares may be granted by the Plan Committee to any key employee of the Company or a Subsidiary Corporation. A Stock Option(s) or Performance Share(s) or Restricted Stock Award(s) may be granted to a director of the Company provided that he/she is also at the time of grant a key employee of the Company or a Subsidiary Corporation. No Stock Option(s) or Performance Share(s) or Restricted Stock Award(s) shall be granted to a person who is at the time of award a member of the Plan Committee. A person who has been engaged by the Company for employment shall be eligible for grants under the Plan, provided such person actually reports for and commences such employment within ninety days after the Date of Grant. 3.2 Designation of Participants. At any time and from time to time during the Plan Year, the Plan Committee may designate the key employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries eligible for Awards. 3.3 Allocation of Stock Option(s), Performance Share(s) or Restricted Stock Award(s). Contemporaneously with the designation of a Participant pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof, the Plan Committee shall determine the number of Stock Option(s) and/or Restricted Stock Award(s) and/or Performance Share(s) to be granted to such Participant and the Date of Grant for such related Stock Option or Performance Share or Restricted Stock Award, taking into consideration such factors as it deems relevant, which may include the following: 4 (a) the total number of Stock Option(s) and/or Restricted Stock Award(s) and/or Performance Share(s) available for allocation to all Participants; and (b) the work assignment or the position of the Participant and its sensitivity and/or impact in relationship to the profitability and growth of the Company and its Subsidiaries; and (c) the Participant's current and potential performance in reference to such factors. Allocation of Awards may, in the discretion of the Plan Committee, be in the form of Stock Option(s) solely or Performance Share(s) solely, or Restricted Stock Award(s) solely, or any combination in whatever relationship one to the other, if any, as the Plan Committee in its discretion so determines. Allocation of Stock Options may, in the discretion of the Plan Committee, be in the form of Incentive Stock Option(s) solely or Non-Qualified Option(s) solely or a combination in whatever relationship to the other, if any, as the Plan Committee in its discretion so determines. 3.4 Notification to Participants and Delivery of Documents. As soon as practicable after such determinations have been made, each Participant, shall be notified of (i) his/her designation as a Participant, (ii) the Date of Grant, and (iii) the number of Stock Option(s), and/or Restricted Stock Award(s) and/or the number of Performance Share(s) granted to the Participant, and in the case of Performance Share(s), the Performance Period and in the case of Restricted Stock Award(s), the Restriction Period. The Participant shall thereafter be supplied with written evidence of any such granted Performance Share(s) and/or Restricted Stock Award(s), and shall receive a Stock Option exercisable for purchase of one share of the Company's $1.00 par value common stock for each Stock Option granted to the Participant pursuant to this Plan or indicating the aggregate of such grant, which option agreement(s) shall be in conformity with the provisions of Article VI hereof. ARTICLE IV PERFORMANCE GOALS 4.1 Establishment of Goals. Within a reasonable period of time after the beginning of each Performance Period, Performance Goals relative to such Performance Period shall be established by the Plan Committee in its absolute discretion. Such Performance Goals may include, but shall not necessarily be limited to, amounts or rates of growth in consolidated profits of the Company expressed in dollars, earnings per share, return on capital, return on investment, return on shareholder's equity, or other similar or relevant measurement which may be absolute in their terms or be measured against or in relationship to other companies comparably, similarly or otherwise situated. The Plan Committee, in its sole discretion, may modify the Performance Goals if it determines that circumstances have changed and modification is required to reflect the original intent of the Performance Goals. The Plan Committee may in its discretion classify Participants into as many groups as it determines, and as to any Participant(s) relate his/her Performance Goals partially, or entirely, to the measured performance, either absolutely or 5 relatively, of an identified Subsidiary, operating company or test strategy or new venture of the Company. 4.2 Levels of Performance Required to Earn Performance Shares. At or about the same time that Performance Goals are established for a specific period, the Plan Committee shall in its absolute discretion establish the percentage (not to exceed 150% thereof) of the Performance Share(s) granted for such Performance Period which shall be earned by the Participant for various levels of performance measured in relation to achievement of Performance Goals for such Performance Period. 4.3 Other Restrictions. The Plan Committee may provide restrictions on the delivery of common stock of the Company upon the earning of Performance Shares, including the future forfeiture of all or part of the common stock earned. The Plan Committee may provide that the shares of the Company's one dollar par value common stock issued on Performance Shares Earned be held in escrow and/or legended. 4.4 Notification to Participants. Promptly after the Plan Committee has established Performance Goals for a specific Performance Period or modified such goals, each Participant who has received a grant of any Performance Share(s) for that period shall be provided with written evidence of the Performance Goals so established or modified. ARTICLE V EARNING OF PERFORMANCE SHARES 5.1 Measurement of Performance against Performance Goals. The Plan Committee shall as soon as practicable after the close of each Performance Period, make a determination of: (a) the extent to which the Performance Goals for such Performance Period have been achieved; (b) the percentage of the Performance Shares granted for such Performance Period which are earned for such Performance Period by Participants who have been from his/her date of hire in the continuous employ of the Company or Subsidiary or a combination thereof, during the subject Performance Period; and (c) the percentage of Performance Shares to be paid in cash, if any. The percentage paid in cash shall be uniform for all Participants in a particular Performance Period. These determinations shall be absolute and final as to the facts and conclusions therein made and be binding on all parties. Promptly after the Plan Committee has made the foregoing determination each Participant who has earned Performance Share(s) based thereon shall be notified, in writing, of the number of Performance Shares so earned. For all purposes of this 6 Plan notice shall be deemed to have been given the date action is taken by the Plan Committee making the determination. 5.2 Treatment of Performance Shares Earned. Upon the determination that a percentage of the Performance Share(s) has been earned for a Performance Period, a Participant to whom such earned Performance Share(s) has been granted and who has been (or was) in the employ of the Company or a Subsidiary thereof continuously from the date of his/her hire during the subject Performance Period to which the grant relates, subject to the exceptions set forth at Section 5.5 and Section 5.6 hereof, shall be entitled, subject to the other conditions of this Plan, to receive the shares of the Company's $1.00 par value common stock for each Performance Share earned (less the shares paid in cash), plus a cash payment in the amount of the Fair Market Value of the shares of common stock to be paid in cash as determined in Section 5.1(c) hereof, calculated as of the close of business on the date of the notice referred to in Section 5.1 hereof. The provisions of Section 5.5 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Plan Committee may provide that the issued shares of common stock be held in escrow and/or be legended and that the common stock be subject to restrictions, including the future forfeiture of all or a part of the shares. Performance Shares shall under no circumstances become earned or have any value whatsoever for any Participant who is not in the employ of the Company or its Subsidiaries continuously during the entire Performance Period for which such Performance Shares are granted, except as provided at Section 5.5 or Section 5.6 hereof. 5.3 Stock-Cash Distribution. Each distribution determined in accordance with Section 5.2 above shall be made as soon as practicable after Performance Shares have been determined to have been earned unless the provisions of Section 5.4(a) hereof are applicable to a Participant. 5.4(a) Deferral of Receipt of Performance Share Earnout. A Participant who has received a grant of Performance Shares may by compliance with the then applicable procedures under the Plan irrevocably elect in writing to defer receipt of all or any part of the stock-cash distribution associated with the earnout, if any, of the Performance Shares (the combination thereof hereafter referred to as the "deferred account"). The deferral shall be effective until the Participant terminates his/her employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries except as otherwise provided herein. The terms and conditions of such deferral, including but not limited to, the period of time for, and form of, election; the manner and method of payout; the form in which the deferred account shall be held; the interest equivalent or other payment that shall accrue upon the deferred account pending its payout; and the use and form of dividend equivalents in respect of stock units included within any deferred account, shall be as determined from time to time by the Plan Committee, which Plan Committee may change any and all of the terms and conditions at any time applicable to deferrals thereafter made. 5.4(b) Amendment of Deferral Arrangements. The Plan Committee may, at any time and from time to time, but prospectively only except as hereinafter provided, amend, modify, change, suspend or cancel any and all of the rights, procedures, mechanics and timing parameters relating 7 to the deferral of receipt of Performance Share earnout under the Plan as set forth at Section 5.4(a) hereof. In addition, the Plan Committee may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the payout of the deferred account, or any portion thereof, either in a lump sum or in a series of payments, but under the following conditions only: (a) the Federal tax statutes, regulations or interpretations are amended, modified, or otherwise changed or affected in such a manner as to adversely alter or modify the tax effect of the "deferred account" as it is comprehended under the tax law and interpretations in effect for deferred accounts as of the effective date of this Plan, or (b) the deferred account holder suffers or incurs an event that would qualify for a "withdrawal" of contributions that have not been accumulated for two years without adverse consequences on the tax status of a qualified profit-sharing or stock bonus plan under the Federal tax laws applicable from time to time to such types of plans. 5.5 Non-Disqualifying Termination of Employment. Except for Section 5.6 hereof, the only exceptions to the requirement of continuous employment during a Performance Period for Performance Share earnout eligibility are termination of a Participant's employment by reason of death (in which event the Performance Shares may be transferable by will or the laws of descent and distribution only to such Participant's beneficiary designated to receive the Performance Shares or to the Participant's applicable legal representatives, heirs or legatees), total and permanent disability, normal or late retirement or early retirement, with the consent of the Plan Committee, or transfer of an executive in a spin- off, with the consent of the Plan Committee, occurring during the Performance Period applicable to the subject Performance share grant. In such instance an earnout of the Performance Shares shall be made, as of the end of the Performance Period, and 100% of the total Performance Shares that would have been earned during the Performance Period shall be earned and paid out; provided, however, in a spin-off situation the Plan Committee may set additional conditions, such as, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, continuous employment with the spin-off entity. If a Participant's termination of employment does not meet the criteria set forth above, but the Participant had at least 15 years of continuous employment with the Corporation or a Subsidiary or any combination thereof, provided that if the person is not an Executive Officer (as defined under the Securities Exchange Act 1934, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder) of the Corporation at time of termination such 15 years need not be continuous, the Plan Committee may allow earn-outs of up to 100% of the total Performance Shares for the Performance Period(s) in which the termination of employment occurred, subject to any conditions that the Plan Committee shall determine. 5.6 Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, all outstanding Performance Shares granted under the Plan shall be proratably payable ten days after the Change in Control; provided that no Performance Share shall be payable to a Participant within six months after the Date of Grant. The amount of Performance Shares payable shall be determined by multiplying 8 100% of each Performance Share grant by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of months that have elapsed in the applicable Performance Period and the denominator of which shall be forty-eight. ARTICLE VI STOCK OPTIONS 6.1 Non-Qualified Option. Non-Qualified Options granted under the Plan are not intended to be Incentive Stock Options under the provisions of Section 422 of the Code. The Non-Qualified Options shall be evidenced by Non-Qualified Option agreements in such form and not inconsistent with the Plan as the Plan Committee shall in its sole discretion approve from time to time, which agreements shall specify the number of shares to which they pertain and the purchase price of such shares and shall, but without limitation, contain in substance the following terms and conditions: (a) Option Period. Each option granted shall expire and all rights to purchase shares thereunder shall cease ten years and one day after the Date of Grant of the Stock Option or on such date prior thereto as may be fixed by the Plan Committee, or on such date prior thereto as is provided by this Plan in the event of termination of employment or death or reorganization pursuant to Section 11.8(b) hereof. No option shall permit the purchase of any shares thereunder during the first year after the Date of Grant of such option, except as provided in Section 6.3 hereof. (b) Transferability and Termination of Options. During the lifetime of an individual to whom an option is granted, the option may be exercised only by such individual and only while such individual is an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary and only if the Participant has been continuously so employed by any one or combination thereof since the Date of Grant of the option, provided, however, that if the employment of such Participant by the Company or a Subsidiary Corporation terminates, the option may additionally be exercised but only as follows and in no event later than ten years and one day after the Date of Grant of the Stock Option, except as set forth in (ii) below: (i) if a Participant's termination of employment occurs by reason of normal or late retirement under any retirement plan of the Company or its Subsidiaries or, with the consent of the Plan Committee, by reason of early retirement under any retirement plan of the Company or its Subsidiaries, or, with the consent of the Plan Committee, the transfer of an executive in a spin-off, or by reason of total and permanent disability, as determined by the Plan Committee, without retirement, then within five years after the date of such termination of employment. During the five-year period the right to exercise options, if any, accruing in installments, shall continue; provided, however, in a spin-off situation the Plan Committee may set 9 additional conditions, such as, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, continuous employment with the spin-off entity. (ii) if a Participant's termination of employment occurs by reason of death, then within five years after the date of death or the life of the option, whichever is less, but in no event less than one year after the date of death, during which time installments shall continue to accrue. (iii) if a Participant's termination of employment occurs for any reason other than as specified in Section 6.1(b)(i) or (ii) hereof, the Participant has been continuously employed by the Company or a Subsidiary or any combination for more than 15 years, provided that if the person is not an Executive Officer (as defined under the Securities Exchange Act 1934, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder) of the Corporation at the time of termination such 15 years need not be continuous, and if the Plan Committee so approves, then within a period of up to five years after the date of termination of employment. During the period the right to exercise options, if any, accruing in installments shall continue; provided, however, the Plan Committee may set additional conditions. (iv) if a Participant's termination of employment occurs for any reason other than as specified in Section 6.1(b)(i) or (ii) hereof, the Plan Committee has not approved an extension pursuant to Section 6.1(b)(iii) and Participant's termination of employment is not occasioned by the commission of a dishonest or other illegal act, then, but only with respect to installments that have as of the date of termination already accrued, within ninety days after the date of such termination of employment except in the case of Participants who would at the time be subject to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, in which instance the period of exercise shall be two hundred ten days after termination. Those Participants terminated because of the commission of a dishonest or other illegal act shall have no additional period after termination of employment in which to exercise their options. Absence on a leave of absence approved by the Plan Committee shall not be deemed a termination or interruption of continuous employment for the purposes of the Plan. (v) Rights accruing to a Participant under the aforesaid Subsections (b)(i), (b)(iii) and (b)(iv) may, upon the death of a Participant subsequent to his/her termination of employment, be exercised or perfected by his/her duly designated beneficiary or otherwise by his/her applicable legal representatives, heirs or legatees to the extent vested in and unexercised or perfected by the Participant at the date of his/her death. 10 No option shall be assignable or transferable by the individual to whom it is granted, except that it may be transferable by will or the laws of descent and distribution in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. An option, if so transferable, may be exercised after the death of the individual to whom it is granted only by such individual's beneficiary designated to exercise the option or otherwise by his/her applicable legal representatives, heirs or legatees, and only within the specific time period set forth above. In no event whether by the Participant directly or by his/her beneficiary or other representative shall any option be exercisable at any time after its expiration date as stated in the option agreement. When an option is no longer exercisable it shall be deemed for all purposes and without further act to have lapsed and terminated. The Plan Committee may in its sole discretion, but shall not be required to, determine, solely for the purposes of the Plan, that a Participant is permanently and totally disabled and the acts and decisions of the Plan Committee made in good faith in relation to any such determination shall be conclusive upon all persons and interests affected thereby. (c) Exercise of Options. An individual entitled to exercise an option may, subject to its terms and conditions and the terms and conditions of the Plan, exercise it in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, by delivery to the Company at its principal office of written notice of exercise, specifying the number of whole shares with respect to which the option is being exercised. Before shares may be issued payment must be made in full, in legal United States tender, in the amount of the purchase price of the shares to be purchased at the time and any amounts for withholding as provided in Section 11.9 hereof; provided, however, in lieu of paying for the exercise price in cash as described above, the individual may pay all or part of such exercise price by delivering owned and unencumbered shares of the Company common stock having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise of the option equal to or less than the exercise price of the options exercised, with cash, as set forth above, for the remainder, if any, of the purchase price. Subject to rules established by the Plan Committee, the withholdings required by Section 11.9 hereof may be satisfied by the Company withholding shares of Company common stock issued on exercise that have a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise of the option equal to or less than the withholding required by Section 11.9 hereof. 6.2 Incentive Stock Option. Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan are intended to be incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code and the Plan shall be administered, except with respect to the right to exercise options after termination of employment, to qualify Incentive Stock Options issued hereunder as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code. An Incentive Stock Option shall not be granted to an employee who owns, or is deemed under Section 424(d) of the Code to own, stock of the Company (or of any parent or Subsidiary 11 of the Company) possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock therein. The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time the option is granted) of the stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any Participant during any calendar year (under all Incentive Stock Option Plans of the Company or any parent or Subsidiary of the Company) shall not exceed $100,000. The Incentive Stock Options shall be evidenced by Incentive Stock Option Agreements in such form and not inconsistent with the Plan as the Plan Committee shall in its sole discretion approve from time to time, which agreements shall specify the number of shares to which they pertain and the purchase price of such shares. The terms and conditions set forth in Subsections (a) through (c) of Section 6.1 hereof shall apply to an Incentive Stock Option; provided that the term of the Incentive Stock Option shall not exceed ten years; and provided, further, that in the event Section 6.1(b)(i) hereof is applicable, all installments shall become immediately exercisable. 6.3 Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, all outstanding options granted under the Plan shall accelerate and will be exercisable in full for a period of two hundred ten (210) days after the Change in Control; provided that no option shall be exercisable by a Participant (i) within six months after the Date of Grant of the option or (ii) after the termination date of the option. ARTICLE VII RESTRICTED STOCK 7.1 Restriction Period to be Established by the Plan Committee. At the time a Restricted Stock Award is made, the Plan Committee shall establish a period of time (the "Restriction Period") applicable to such Award, which shall be not less than three years. Each Restricted Stock Award may have a different Restriction Period, at the discretion of the Plan Committee. Except as permitted or pursuant to Sections 7.4, 7.5 or 11.8 hereof, the Restriction Period applicable to a particular Restricted Stock Award shall not be changed. 7.2 Other Terms and Conditions. Company common stock awarded pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award shall be represented by a stock certificate registered in the name of the Holder of such Restricted Stock Award. The Holder shall have the right to enjoy all shareholder rights during the Restriction Period with the exception that: (i) The Holder shall not be entitled to delivery of the stock certificate until the Restriction Period shall have expired. (ii) The Company may either issue shares subject to such restrictive legends and/or stop-transfer instructions as it deems appropriate or provide for retention of custody of the Company common stock during the Restriction Period. 12 (iii) The Holder may not sell, transfer, pledge, exchange, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of the Company common stock during the Restriction Period. (iv) A breach of the terms and conditions established by the Plan Committee pursuant to the Restricted Stock Award shall cause a forfeiture of the Restricted Stock Award, and any dividends withheld thereon. (v) Dividends payable in cash or in shares of stock or otherwise may be either currently paid or withheld by the Company for the Holder's account. At the discretion of the Plan Committee, interest may be paid on the amount of cash dividends withheld, including cash dividends on stock dividends, at a rate and subject to such terms as determined by the Plan Committee. Provided, however, and the provisions of Section 7.4 to the contrary notwithstanding, in lieu of the foregoing, the Plan Committee may provide that no shares of common stock be issued until the Restriction Period is over and further provide that the shares of common stock issued after the Restriction Period has been completed, be issued in escrow and or be legended and that the common stock be subject to restrictions including the forfeiture of all or a part of the shares. 7.3 Payment for Restricted Stock. A Holder shall not be required to make any payment for Company common stock received pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award, unless the Plan Committee requires payment for such stock in the Restricted Stock Award. 7.4 Forfeiture Provisions. Subject to Section 7.5, in the event a Holder terminates employment during a Restriction Period, a Restricted Stock Award will be forfeited; provided, however, when the Plan Committee issues the Restricted Stock Award, it may provide in the Restricted Stock Award agreement for proration or full payout in the event of a termination of employment because of normal or late retirement, early retirement or spin-off with the consent of the Plan Committee, or death or total and permanent disability, as determined by the Plan Committee, or termination of employment after 15 years of continuous employment with the Corporation or a Subsidiary or any combination thereof, provided that if the person is not an Executive Officer (as defined under the Securities Exchange Act 1934, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder) of the Corporation at the time of termination such 15 years need not be continuous, subject to any other conditions the Plan Committee may determine. 7.5 Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, all outstanding Restricted Stock Awards granted under the Plan will be proratably payable ten days after the Change in Control; provided that no Restricted Stock Award shall be payable to a Participant within six months after the Date of Grant. The amount of Company common stock payable shall be determined by multiplying each Restricted Stock Award granted by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of months that have elapsed in the applicable Restriction Period and the denominator of which shall be the number of months in the Restriction Period. 13 ARTICLE VIII SHARES OF STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN 8.1 The total number of shares that may be available for issuance under all Performance Shares, Stock Options and Restricted Stock Awards granted pursuant to the Plan shall not exceed in the aggregate 6,200,000 shares of the Company's $1.00 par value common stock. Shares covered by granted Performance Shares which are not earned pursuant to any of the provisions of Article V hereof, or Stock Options or Performance Shares or Restricted Stock Awards which are forfeited for any reason or are not distributed or are covered by options that lapse or are canceled before exercise, shall (unless the Plan shall have been terminated) again be available in the same relative amounts for other Performance Share, Restricted Stock Award and Stock Option grants under the Plan (except for shares for which cash equivalent payments are received by Participants pursuant to the Plan), except that 220,275 shares for Stock Options, Performance Shares or Restricted Stock Awards that were outstanding on April 10, 1991 that are not earned or are forfeited for any reason or are not distributed or lapse or are cancelled before exercise shall be available for future grants and any additional shares for Stock Options, Performance Shares or Restricted Stock Awards that were outstanding on April 10, 1991 that are not earned or are forfeited for any reason or are not distributed or lapse or are cancelled before exercise shall not be available for future Performance Shares, Restricted Stock Awards or Stock Option Grants. Such shares may be authorized and unissued shares, or may be treasury shares held by the Company or may be shares purchased or held by the Company or a Subsidiary for purposes of the Plan, or any combination thereof. ARTICLE IX ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN 9.1 The Plan will be administered by a committee of the Board appointed from time to time by the Board. Each member of the committee shall be a "disinterested person" as that term is defined under Rule 16b-3, promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any successor statute or regulation comprehending the same subject matter. 9.2 The Plan Committee shall have and exercise all of the powers and responsibilities granted expressly or by implication to it by the provisions of the Plan. Subject to and as limited by such provisions, the Plan Committee may from time to time enact, amend and rescind such rules, regulations and procedures with respect to the administration of the Plan as it deems appropriate or convenient. 9.3 All questions arising under the Plan, any Incentive Stock Option, Non-Qualified Stock Option, Performance Share or Restricted Stock Award agreement, or any rule, regulation or procedure adopted by the Plan Committee shall be determined by the Plan Committee, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties. 9.4 Any action required or permitted to be taken by the Plan Committee under the Plan shall require the affirmative vote of a majority of a quorum of the members of the Plan 14 Committee. A majority of all members of the Plan Committee shall constitute a "quorum" for Plan Committee business. The Plan Committee may act by written determination instead of by affirmative vote at a meeting, provided that any written determination shall be signed by all members of the Plan Committee, and any such written determination shall be as fully effective as a majority vote of a quorum at a meeting. ARTICLE X REDUCTION IN AWARDS 10.1 Anything in this Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, the provisions of this Article X shall apply to a Participant if Ernst & Young determines that each of (a) and (b) below are applicable. (a) Payments or distributions hereunder, determined without application of this Article X, either alone or together with other payments in the nature of compensation to the Participant which are contingent on a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company, or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company, or otherwise (but after any elimination or reduction of such payments under the terms of the Company's Income Continuance Policy Statement or SMG Income Continuance Policy Statement), would result in any portion of the payments hereunder being subject to an excise tax on excess parachute payments imposed under Section 4999 of the Code. (b) The excise tax imposed on the Participant under Section 4999 of the Code on excess parachute payments, from whatever source, would result in a lesser net aggregate present value of payments and distributions to the Participant (after subtraction of the excise tax) than if payments and distributions to the Participant were reduced to the maximum amount that could be made without incurring the excise tax. 10.2 Under this Article X the payments and distributions under this Plan shall be reduced (but not below zero) so that the present value of such payments and distributions shall equal the Reduced Amount. The "Reduced Amount" (which may be zero) shall be an amount expressed in present value which maximizes the aggregate present value of payments and distributions under this Plan which can be made without causing any such payment to be subject to the excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code. The determinations and reductions under this paragraph shall be made after eliminations or reductions, if any, have been made under the Company's Income Continuance Policy Statement or SMG Income Continuance Policy Statement. 10.3 If Ernst & Young determines that this Article X is applicable to a Participant, it shall so advise the Plan Committee. The Plan Committee shall then promptly give the Participant notice to that effect together with a copy of the detailed calculation supporting such determination which shall include a statement of the Reduced Amount. The Participant may then elect, in his/her sole discretion, which and how much of the Stock Options, Restricted Stock Awards 15 and/or Performance Shares otherwise awarded under this Plan shall be eliminated or reduced (as long as after such election the aggregate present value of the remaining Stock Options, Restricted Stock Awards and/or Performance Shares under this Plan equals the Reduced Amount), and shall advise the Plan Committee in writing of his/her election within ten days of his/her receipt of notice. If no such election is made by the Participant within such ten-day period, the Plan Committee may elect which and how much of the Stock Options, Restricted Stock Awards, and/or Performance Shares shall be eliminated or reduced (as long as after such election their aggregate present value equals the Reduced Amount) and shall notify the Participant promptly of such election. For purposes of this Article X, present value shall be determined in accordance with Section 280G of the Code. All the foregoing determinations made by Ernst & Young under this Article X shall be made as promptly as practicable after it is determined that parachute payments will be made to the Participant if an elimination or reduction is not made. As promptly as practicable following the election hereunder, the Company shall provide to or for the benefit of the Participant such amounts and shares as are then due to the Participant under this Plan and shall promptly provide to or for the benefit of the Participant in the future such amounts and shares as become due to the Participant under this Plan. 10.4 As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 280G of the Code at the time of the initial determination by Ernst & Young hereunder, it is possible that payments or distributions under this Plan will have been made which should not have been made ("Overpayment") or that additional payments or distributions which will have not been made could have been made ("Underpayment"), in each case, consistent with the calculation of the Reduced Amount hereunder. In the event that Ernst & Young, based upon the assertion of a deficiency by the Internal Revenue Service against the Company or the Participant which Ernst & Young believes has a high probability of success, determines that an Overpayment has been made, any such Overpayment shall be treated for all purposes as a loan to the Participant which the Participant shall repay together with interest at the applicable Federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code; provided, however, that no amount shall be payable by the Participant if and to the extent such payment would not reduce the amount which is subject to the excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code. In the event that Ernst & Young, based upon controlling precedent, determines that an Underpayment has occurred, any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid to or for the benefit of the Participant together with interest at the applicable Federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2)(A) of the Code. 10.5 In making its determination under this Article X, the value of any non-cash benefit shall be determined by Ernst & Young in accordance with the principles of Section 280G(d)(3) of the Code. 10.6 All determinations made by Ernst & Young under this Article X shall be binding upon the Company, the Plan Committee and the Participant. 16 ARTICLE XI GENERAL PROVISIONS 11.1 Amendment or Termination. The Board may at any time amend, suspend, discontinue or terminate the Plan (including the making of any necessary enabling, conforming and procedural amendments to the Plan to authorize and implement the granting of qualified Stock Options or other income tax preferred stock options which may be authorized by enactment of the United States Congress and/or the Internal Revenue Service subsequent to the effective date of this Plan); provided, however, that no amendment by the Board shall, without further approval of the shareholders of the Company: (a) except as provided at Section 2.16 hereof increase the total number of shares of Company common stock which may be made subject to the Plan; or (b) except as provided at Section 2.16 hereof change the purchase price of Company common stock under the Plan; or (c) materially modify the class of employees that are eligible to receive Stock Options and/or Performance Shares and/or Restricted Stock Awards pursuant to the Plan. No action taken pursuant to this Section 11.1 of the Plan shall, without the consent of a Participant, alter or impair any Performance Share(s) or Stock Option(s) or Restricted Stock Award(s) which have been previously granted to a Participant. 11.2 Non-Alienation of Rights and Benefits. Except as expressly provided herein, no right or benefit under the Plan shall be subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, assign, pledge, encumber or charge the same shall be void. No right or benefit hereunder shall in any manner be liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities or torts of the person entitled to such right or benefit. If any Participant or beneficiary hereunder should become bankrupt or attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, assign, pledge, encumber or charge any right or benefit hereunder, then such right or benefit shall, in the sole discretion of the Plan Committee, cease and in such event the Company may hold or apply the same or any or no part thereof for the benefit of the Participant or beneficiary, his/her spouse, children or other dependents or any of them in any such manner and in such proportion as the Plan Committee in its sole discretion may deem proper. 11.3 No Rights as Shareholder. The granting of Performance Share(s) and/or Stock Option(s) and/or Restricted Stock Award(s) under the Plan shall not entitle a Participant or any other person succeeding to his/her rights, to any dividend, voting or other right as a shareholder of the Company unless and until the issuance of a stock certificate to the Participant or such other person pursuant to the provisions of the Plan and then only subsequent to the date of issuance thereof. 17 11.4 Limitation of Liability or Obligation of the Company. As illustrative only of the limitations of liability or obligation of the Company and not intended to be exhaustive thereof, nothing in the Plan shall be construed: (a) to give any employee of the Company any right to be granted any Stock Option and/or Performance Share and/or Restricted Stock Award other than at the sole discretion of the Plan Committee, (b) to give any Participant any rights whatsoever with respect to shares of the Company's $1.00 par value common stock except as specifically provided in the Plan, (c) to limit in any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate, change or modify, with or without cause, the employment of any Participant at any time, or (d) to be evidence of any agreement or understanding, express or implied, that the Company or any Subsidiary will employ any Participant in any particular position at any particular rate of compensation or for any particular period of time. 11.5 Government Regulations. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan seemingly to the contrary, the obligation of the Company with respect to Performance Shares, Stock Options or Restricted Stock Awards granted under the Plan shall at all times be subject to any and all applicable laws, rules, and regulations and such approvals by any government agencies as may be required or deemed by the Board or Plan Committee as reasonably necessary or appropriate for the protection of the Company. In connection with any sale, issuance or transfer hereunder, the Participant acquiring the shares shall, if requested by the Company give assurances satisfactory to counsel of the Company that the shares are being acquired for investment and not with a view to resale or distribution thereof and assurances in respect of such other matters as the Company may deem desirable to assure compliance with all applicable legal requirements. 11.6 Non-exclusivity of the Plan. Neither the adoption of the Plan by the Board nor the submission of the Plan to shareholders of the Company for approval shall be construed as creating any limitations on the power or authority of the Board to adopt such other or additional incentive or other compensation arrangements of whatever nature as the Board may deem necessary or desirable or preclude or limit the continuation of any other plan, practice or arrangement for the payment of compensation or fringe benefits to employees generally, or to any class or group of employees, which the Company or any Subsidiary now has lawfully put into effect, including, without limitation, any retirement, pension, savings, profit sharing or stock purchase plan, insurance, death and disability benefits, and executive short term incentive plans. 18 11.7 Effective Date. Subject to the approval of this restated Plan by the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares present and entitled to vote at the Company's Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held May 29, 1991 and any necessary approval being obtained from any department, board or agency of the United States or states having jurisdiction, the Plan shall be effective as of May 29, 1991. 11.8 Reorganization. In case the Company is merged or consolidated with another corporation, or in case the property or stock of the Company is acquired by another corporation, or in case of a separation, reorganization or liquidation of the Company, the Plan Committee or a comparable committee of any corporation assuming the obligations of the Company hereunder, shall either: (a) make appropriate provision for the protection of any outstanding Performance Shares, Stock Options and Restricted Stock Awards granted thereunder by the substitution on an equitable basis of appropriate stock of the Company, or of the merged, consolidated or otherwise reorganized corporation which will be issuable in respect to the shares of the Company's $1.00 par value common stock. Stock to be issued pursuant to such Performance Shares shall be limited so that the excess of the aggregate fair market value of the shares subject to the Performance Shares immediately after such substitution over the purchase price thereof is not more than the excess of the aggregate fair market value of the shares subject to such Performance Shares immediately before such substitution over the purchase price thereof; or (b) upon written notice to the Participant, provide that all Performance Shares granted to the Participant are deemed earned, that the Restriction Period of all Restricted Stock Awards has been eliminated and that all outstanding Stock Options shall accelerate and become exercisable in full but that all outstanding Stock Options, whether or not exercisable prior to such acceleration, must be exercised within not less than sixty days of the date of such notice or they will be terminated. In any such case the Plan Committee may, in its discretion, extend the sixty day-exercise period. 11.9 Withholding Taxes, etc. All distributions under the Plan shall be subject to any required withholding taxes and other withholdings and, in case of distributions in Company common stock, the Participant or other recipient may, as a condition precedent to the delivery of the common stock, be required to pay to his/her participating employer the excess, if any, of the amount of required withholding over the withholdings, if any, from any distributions in cash under the Plan. No distribution under the Plan shall be made in fractional shares of the Company's common stock, but the proportional market value thereof shall be paid in cash. 11.10 General Restriction. Each Performance Share, Stock Option and Restricted Stock Award shall be subject to the requirement that, if at any time the Board shall determine, in its discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of the shares subject to such option and/or 19 right upon any securities exchange or under any state or Federal Law, or the consent or approval of any government regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with the granting of such Performance Share or Stock Option or Restricted Stock Award or the issue or purchase of shares respectively thereunder, such Performance Share or Stock Option or Restricted Stock Award may not be exercised in whole or in part unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Board. 11.11 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds derived from the sale of the stock pursuant to Stock Options or Restricted Stock Awards granted under the Plan shall constitute general funds of the Company. 11.12 Headings. The headings of the Articles and their subparts in this Plan are for convenience of reading only and are not meant to be of substantive significance and shall not add to or detract from the meaning of such Article or subpart to which it refers. 20 EX-11 5 STATEMENTS RE COMPUTATION EXHIBIT (11) DAYTON HUDSON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES COMPUTATIONS OF PER SHARE EARNINGS (In Millions, Except Per-Share Data)
