On September 19, 2024, Target Corporation (“Target”) announced that Jim Lee has been appointed to the position of Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, effective September 22, 2024. Prior to joining Target, Mr. Lee, 50, held various leadership positions with PepsiCo, Inc., including most recently as deputy chief financial officer from November 2023 to September 2024, senior vice president, corporate finance from October 2022 to November 2023, and chief strategy and transformation officer and senior vice president, PepsiCo Beverages North America, from February 2019 to October 2022.

In connection with his appointment, Mr. Lee will receive an annual base salary of $850,000, will be eligible for a pro-rated annual cash incentive under Target’s Short-Term Incentive Plan for Fiscal 2024 with a target incentive opportunity of 100% of base salary, and will be granted stock-based awards under Target’s 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan with a pro-rated target payout value of $1.5 million. The stock-based awards will consist of performance share units (60% of grant value) and performance-based restricted stock units (40% of grant value), on terms consistent with the awards granted to Target’s other leadership team members in March 2024. In addition, Mr. Lee will receive a sign-on bonus and stock-based award in consideration for estimated compensation forfeitures from his prior employer. Specifically, Mr. Lee will receive a cash sign-on bonus of $2.2 million, which is subject to repayment in the event of voluntary termination or termination for cause within the first 36 months of employment, and Mr. Lee will be granted a sign-on award of restricted stock units under Target’s 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan with a target payout value of $6.95 million. This award of restricted stock units will vest in 1/3 increments in September 2025, September 2026, and September 2027, subject to his continued employment through the applicable vesting dates. If Mr. Lee’s employment is involuntarily terminated without cause before an applicable vesting date, Mr. Lee will receive 50% of the unvested restricted stock units. Mr. Lee will also be eligible for benefits under Target’s Income Continuation Plan and other benefits available to members of Target’s leadership team. Mr. Lee will be an “at-will” employee of Target and will have no specified term as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.
