Floating Rate Notes due 2013

 

TARGET CORPORATION, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Minnesota (hereinafter called the “Company,” which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assigns, the principal sum of                                       Dollars ($                    ) on January 11, 2013 and to pay interest thereon from January 12, 2012 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date (as defined below) to which interest has been paid or duly provided for on the dates and at the rate set forth below, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date next preceding such Interest Payment Date. The Regular Record Date for an Interest Payment Date shall be the date 15 calendar days prior to that Interest Payment Date (whether or not a Business Day (as defined below)).

 

The interest rate per annum for this Security shall be equal to LIBOR (as defined below) plus 0.03%, as determined by the calculation agent for this Security (the “Calculation Agent”), and shall be reset quarterly on April 11, July 11 and October 11 of 2012, commencing April 11, 2012.  Each of these dates on which interest shall be reset is referred to as an “Interest Reset Date.”  The initial interest rate per annum for this Security shall be equal to LIBOR plus 0.03%, as determined two London Banking Days (as defined below) prior to January 12, 2012 by the Calculation Agent.

 

 

Interest on this Security shall be paid on April 11, July 11, October 11 and at Maturity, commencing April 11, 2012.  Each of these dates on which interest shall be paid is referred to as an “Interest Payment Date.”  If an Interest Payment Date would fall on a day that is not a Business Day, other than the Interest Payment Date that is also the date of Maturity, such Interest Payment Date shall be postponed to the following day that is a Business Day; provided, however, if such next Business Day is in a different month, then interest on this Security shall be paid on the Business Day immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date.  If the date of Maturity would fall on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment of principal and any premium and interest shall be made on the next Business Day, with the same force and effect as if made on the due date, and no additional interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such date of Maturity.  As used herein, “Business Day” means a day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law or regulation to close in New York, New York.

 

Except as described below for the first Interest Period, on each Interest Payment Date, the Company shall pay interest for the period commencing on and including the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date and ending on but excluding that Interest Payment Date.  This period is referred to as an “Interest Period.”  The first Interest Period shall begin on and include January 12, 2012 and, subject to the immediately preceding paragraph, shall end on but exclude April 11, 2012.  The amount of interest to be paid on this Security for each Interest Period shall be calculated by multiplying the principal amount of this Security by an accrued interest factor.  The “accrued interest factor” shall be computed by adding the interest factors calculated for each day in the Interest Period.  The “interest factor” for each day is computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to that day by 360.

 

As used herein, “LIBOR” means, as of any Interest Determination Date, the rate for deposits in U.S. dollars having a three-month maturity, commencing on the second London Banking Day immediately following the Interest Determination Date that appears on Reuters Page LIBOR01 (as defined below) at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) on that Interest Determination Date. If no rate appears, then the Calculation Agent shall request the principal London offices of each of four major banks in the London interbank market, as selected by the Calculation Agent, to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered quotation for deposits in U.S. dollars having a three-month maturity commencing on the second London Banking Day immediately following the Interest Determination Date to prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) on that Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount that is representative of a single transaction in U.S. dollars in that market at that time. If at least two quotations are provided, LIBOR determined on that Interest Determination Date shall be the arithmetic mean of those quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, LIBOR shall be determined for the applicable Interest Reset Date as the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted at approximately 11:00 a.m. (New York City time), in New York City on that Interest Determination Date, by three major banks located in New York City selected by the Calculation Agent for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks, having a three-month maturity and in a principal amount that is representative of a single transaction in U.S. dollars in that market at that time. If the banks so selected by the Calculation Agent are not providing quotations as set forth above, LIBOR in effect immediately before that Interest Determination Date shall not change and shall remain LIBOR in effect on that Interest Determination Date.

 

2

 

“Interest Determination Date” means, for any Interest Reset Date, the second London Banking Day prior to that Interest Reset Date.

 

“London Banking Day” means any day on which dealings in deposits in U.S. dollars are transacted in the London interbank market.

 

“Reuters Page LIBOR01” means the display designated as “Page LIBOR01” on Reuters or any successor service (or such other page as may replace Page LIBOR01 on that service or a successor service).

 

All percentages used in or resulting from any of the above calculations shall be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with 0.000005% rounded up to 0.00001%, and all U.S. dollar amounts used in or resulting from any of the above calculations shall be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest cent, with one-half cent rounded upward.

 

The interest rate on the Securities of this series shall in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by the law of the State of Minnesota, as the same may be modified by law of the United States general application.

 

The Calculation Agent shall, upon the request of a Holder of this Security, provide the interest rate then in effect and, if determined, the interest rate that shall become effective on the next Interest Reset Date.  All calculations of the Calculation Agent, in the absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Company and the Holder hereof.  The Calculation Agent shall notify the Paying Agent of each determination of the interest applicable to this Security promptly after the determination is made.  The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, National Association shall initially act as Calculation Agent.  The Company may appoint a successor Calculation Agent with the written consent of the Paying Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

 

Any interest not punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.

 

Payment of interest on this Security shall be made in immediately available funds at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in New York, New York in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be paid by check mailed to the Person entitled thereto at such Person’s last address as it appears in the Security Register or by wire transfer to such account as may have been designated by such Person in writing not less than 10 days prior to the date of such payment.  Payment of principal of

and interest on this Security at Maturity shall be made against presentation of this Security at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in New York, New York.

 

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

 

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

TARGET CORPORATION

 

Floating Rate Notes due 2013

 

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture dated as of August 4, 2000 between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, National Association (as successor in interest to Bank One Trust Company, N.A.), as trustee, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 1, 2007 between the Company and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as trustee, and as further amended or supplemented from time to time (herein called the “Indenture”) (in its capacity as trustee, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, National Association, being herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities, and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.  This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, such series being limited in initial aggregate principal amount to $                  ; provided, however, that the Company may, without the consent of the Holders of the Securities of this series, issue additional Securities with the same terms as the Securities of this series, and such additional Securities shall be considered part of the same series under the Indenture as the Securities of this series.

 

The Securities of this series shall not be entitled to any sinking fund.  The Securities of this series are not subject to redemption at the option of the Company prior to January 11, 2013.

 

Change of Control Offer

 

If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, the Company shall be required to make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder of the Securities of this series to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Securities on the terms set forth herein.  In a Change of Control Offer, the Company shall be required to offer payment in cash equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Securities of this series repurchased to the date of repurchase (a “Change of Control Payment”).  Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event or, at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control, but after public announcement of the transaction that constitutes

 

6

 

or may constitute the Change of Control, a notice shall be mailed to Holders of the Securities of this series describing the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase such Securities on the date specified in the notice, which date shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (a “Change of Control Payment Date”).  The notice shall, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.

 

In order to accept a Change of Control Offer, the Holder must deliver to the Paying Agent, at least five Business Days prior to a Change of Control Payment Date, this Security together with the form entitled “Election Form” (which form is annexed hereto) duly completed, or a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a national securities exchange, or the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority or a commercial bank or trust company in the United States setting forth:

 

(i)                        the name of the Holder of this Security;

 

(ii)                     the principal amount of this Security;

 

(iii)                  the principal amount of this Security to be repurchased;

 

(iv)                 the certificate number or a description of the tenor and terms of this Security;

 

(v)                    a statement that the Holder is accepting the Change of Control Offer; and

 

(vi)                  a guarantee that this Security, together with the form entitled “Election Form” duly completed, will be received by the Paying Agent at least five Business Days prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.

 

Any exercise by a Holder of its election to accept the Change of Control Offer shall be irrevocable. The Change of Control Offer may be accepted for less than the entire principal amount of this Security, but in that event the principal amount of this Security remaining outstanding after repurchase must be equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

 

On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful:

 

(i)                        accept for payment all Securities of this series or portions of such Securities properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

 

7

 

(ii)                     deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Securities of this series or portions of such Securities properly tendered; and

 

(iii)                  deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Securities of this series properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series or portions of such Securities being repurchased.

 

The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and the third party purchases all Securities of this series properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.  In addition, the Company shall not repurchase any Securities of this series if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an Event of Default under the Indenture, other than a default in the payment of the Change of Control Payment upon a Change of Control Triggering Event.

 

The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Securities of this series as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any such securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Securities of this series, the Company shall comply with those securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Securities of this series by virtue of any such conflict.

 

For purposes of the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Securities of this series, the following terms are applicable:

 

“Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following: (1) the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or more series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any person, other than the Company or a Subsidiary; (2) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any person becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Company’s outstanding Voting Stock or other Voting Stock into which the Company’s Voting Stock is reclassified, consolidated, exchanged or changed, measured by voting power rather than number of shares; (3) the Company consolidates with, or merges with or into, any person, or any person consolidates with, or merges with or into, the Company, in any such event pursuant to a transaction in which any of the Company’s

 

8

 

outstanding Voting Stock or the Voting Stock of such other person is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than any such transaction where the shares of the Company’s Voting Stock outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitute, or are converted into or exchanged for, a majority of the Voting Stock of the surviving person or any direct or indirect parent company of the surviving person immediately after giving effect to such transaction; (4) the first day on which a majority of the members of the Company’s Board of Directors are not Continuing Directors; or (5) the adoption of a plan relating to the Company’s liquidation or dissolution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction shall not be deemed to involve a Change of Control under clause (2) above if (i) the Company becomes a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of a holding company and (ii)(A) the direct or indirect holders of the Voting Stock of such holding company immediately following that transaction are substantially the same as the holders of the Company’s Voting Stock immediately prior to that transaction or (B) immediately following that transaction no person other than a holding company satisfying the requirements of this sentence, is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Voting Stock of such holding company.  The term “person,” as used in this definition, has the meaning given thereto in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act.

 

“Change of Control Triggering Event” means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Rating Event.

 

“Continuing Directors” means, as of any date of determination, any member of the Company’s Board of Directors who (1) was a member of such Board of Directors on the date the Securities of this series were issued or (2) was nominated for election, elected or appointed to such Board of Directors with the approval of a majority of the Continuing Directors who were members of such Board of Directors at the time of such nomination, election or appointment (either by a specific vote or by approval of the Company’s proxy statement in which such member was named as a nominee for election as a director, without objection to such nomination).

 

“Fitch” means Fitch Inc., and its successors.

 

“Investment Grade Rating” means a rating equal to or higher than BBB- (or the equivalent) by Fitch, Baa3 (or the equivalent) by Moody’s and BBB- (or the equivalent) by S&P, and the equivalent investment grade credit rating from any replacement rating agency or rating agencies selected by the Company.

 

“Moody’s” means Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., and its successors.

 

“Rating Agencies” means (1) each of Fitch, Moody’s and S&P; and (2) if any of Fitch, Moody’s or S&P ceases to rate the Securities of this series or fails to make a rating of such Securities publicly available for reasons outside of the Company’s control, a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Rule 15c3-1(c)(2)(vi)(F) under

 

9

 

the Exchange Act selected by the Company (as certified by a resolution of the Company’s Board of Directors) as a replacement agency for Fitch, Moody’s or S&P, or all of them, as the case may be.

 

“Rating Event” means the rating on the Securities of this series is lowered by at least two of the three Rating Agencies and the Securities of this series are rated below an Investment Grade Rating by at least two of the three Rating Agencies on any day during the period (which period shall be extended so long as the rating of the Securities of this series is under publicly announced consideration for a possible downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies) commencing 60 days prior to the first public notice of the occurrence of a Change of Control or the Company’s intention to effect a Change of Control and ending 60 days following consummation of such Change of Control.

 

“S&P” means Standard & Poor’s Rating Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., and its successors.

 

“Voting Stock” means, with respect to any specified “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) as of any date, the capital stock of such person that is at the time entitled to vote generally in the election of the board of directors of such person.

 

The provisions of Article Thirteen of the Indenture shall apply to the Change of Control Offer provisions of this Security except as and to the extent otherwise specified in this Security.  For purposes of the Indenture, a Change of Control Payment Date shall be deemed to be a Repayment Date.

 

Other Provisions

 

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series as set forth in the Indenture shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

 

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected.  The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences.  Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security

 

10

 

issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

 

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (i) the entire indebtedness on this Security and (ii) certain restrictive covenants and certain Events of Default, upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth therein, which provisions apply to this Security.

This Security is exchangeable for definitive Securities in registered form only if (i) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for this Security or if at any time the Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and a successor depositary is not appointed within 90 days, (ii) the Company, in its sole discretion, determines that this Security shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities in registered form and notifies the Trustee thereof or (iii) an Event of Default with respect to the Securities represented hereby has occurred and is continuing.  If this Security is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence, it shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities in registered form, bearing interest at the same rate, having the same date of issuance, Stated Maturity and other terms and of authorized denominations aggregating a like amount.

 

This Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor of the Depositary or a nominee of such successor.  Except as provided above, owners of beneficial interests in this global Security shall not be entitled to receive physical delivery of Securities in definitive form and shall not be considered the Holders hereof for any purpose under the Indenture.

 

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed, except that in the event the Company deposits money or Government Obligations as provided in Section 401 or 403 of the Indenture, such payments shall be made only from proceeds of such money or Government Obligations.

 

Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
