Only Holders of Notes who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw their Notes at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 27, 2013 (such date and time, the “Early Tender Date”) are eligible to receive the “Total Consideration” listed in the table above for Notes accepted for purchase.  Withdrawal rights for the Maximum Tender Offers expired at the Early Tender Date.  Holders of Notes who validly tender their Notes after the Early Tender Date but at or prior to the Maximum Tender Expiration Date will be eligible only to receive an amount equal to the “Late Tender Offer Consideration” for any such Notes accepted for purchase.  The “Late Tender Offer Consideration” for each series of Notes is equal to the Total Consideration for such series less $30 per $1,000 principal amount of such Notes.

Holders will also receive accrued and unpaid interest on Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase from the last interest payment date up to, but not including, the date Target makes payment in same-day funds for such Notes, which date is anticipated to be April 11, 2013.
