Target Corp

Target's decision-making body for financial support of political activities is a subset of the leadership team, which is responsible for balancing our business interests with other considerations that are important to our team members, guests, communities, shareholders and other stakeholders. This group reports to the Board of Directors at least twice per year. [...] Target corporate political contributions and lobbying practices may be subject to periodic internal audits.

## Advocacy reporting

Target publicly reports its federal advocacy activities every three months as required by law with the Secretary of the U.S. Senate and the Clerk of the U.S. House of Representatives. Copies of our recent federal reports are available here:

We also indirectly engage in advocacy through our memberships in trade associations and other policy-based organizations, which support their member companies by offering educational forums, public policy advocacy and advancement of issues of common concern. Given the diversity of interests, viewpoints and broad membership represented by these organizations, the positions they take do not always reflect Target's views.

Our financial support of trade associations and other policy-based organizations is limited to educational, lobbying and association management activities. We expressly require that our financial contributions to these organizations not be used for making campaign contributions to candidates or to influence the outcome of specific elections or ballot initiatives. Because these organizations also engage in political efforts, we disclose our memberships as political contributions.

We report the identity of the trade associations and other policy-based organizations that we support, together with the aggregate amount of our financial support. In addition, because membership dues used for lobbying activities are not deductible for U.S. tax purposes, we also show the portion of our total dues that are not tax deductible.

Information on our support of trade associations and other policy-based organizations is updated annually.
