Form 8-K for TARGET CORP


10-Sep-2009

Amendments to Articles of Inc. or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year, Financial Statements


Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in
Fiscal Year.

On September 9, 2009, the Board of Directors of Target Corporation approved the amendment and restatement of the company's Bylaws. The amended and restated Bylaws are attached hereto as Exhibit (3)B.

The amendments to the Bylaws implement changes that modernize the Bylaws to enable Target to take advantage of the flexibility permitted under the revised Minnesota corporation statutes, and add the provision regarding advance notice of director nominations described below.

The Bylaws add an advance notice requirement for shareholder nominations of director candidates, which increases the 60-day advance notice requirement currently in the Articles of Incorporation to 90 days and requires additional information regarding the proponent's economic interests in Target, including interests in derivative securities. This advance notice Bylaw provision will not be effective until Target's shareholders approve amendments to the Articles of Incorporation that would eliminate the advance notice provisions in the Articles of Incorporation. Target's Board of Directors intends to seek shareholder approval of the amendments to the Articles of Incorporation at the 2010 annual shareholders' meeting. If those amendments are approved by shareholders, the new advance notice Bylaw provision would be effective for the 2011 annual shareholders' meeting.

Other changes to the Bylaws, which are effective as of September 9, 2009, include removing the requirement that the annual meeting of shareholders be held in May of each year, updating the provisions governing board committees, clarifying that the role of Chairman of the Board is not itself an officer position, updating descriptions of officer duties and authority, and other miscellaneous changes that reflect current statutory provisions (including the permitted use of electronic communications and uncertificated shares).
