•Disclose Material, Non-Public Information to others before the information is publicly
released.
•Trade in any Derivative that is directly linked to Target Securities at any time, whether
for hedging purposes or otherwise (other than exercising stock options granted to the
Insider by Target, provided that the exercise otherwise complies with this Policy).
Specific Rules
No Trading While Aware of Material, Non-Public Information. An Insider may not enter
into transactions, including gifts, involving Target Securities at any time that the Insider is
aware of Material, Non-Public Information about Target. For purposes of this Policy,
transactions involving the Target Stock Fund in the 401(k) Plan or the Executive Deferred
Compensation Plan (“EDCP”) are considered to be transactions involving Target Securities.
This trading restriction also applies to exercising stock options if the shares acquired upon
the exercise of an option will be sold as part of the exercise. In addition, an Insider may not
enter into transactions, including gifts, involving the Securities of another company if the
Insider is aware of Material, Non-Public Information about that company as a result of the
Insider’s work at Target.
No Tipping. An Insider may not disclose Material, Non-Public Information about Target or
another company (“Tipping”) to someone (a “Tippee”) before the information is publicly
released. Recommending the purchase or sale of Securities while aware of Material, Non-
Public Information related to those Securities is a Tipping violation even if the Insider did not
actually disclose the information on which the Insider’s recommendation is based. In
addition, the Insider’s actions will constitute a violation of this Policy even if the Insider did
not receive any personal benefit from the Tippee’s actions.
On occasion, it may be necessary for legitimate business reasons to disclose Material, Non-
Public Information to people outside of Target. In those circumstances, an Insider should not
disclose that information until the person receiving the information signs an agreement to
maintain the information in strict confidence and not to use the information for any reason
other than the business purpose for which it was disclosed. The Law Department can assist
with such agreements.
No Trading in Target Derivatives. An Insider may not directly or indirectly trade in any
Derivative that is directly linked to Target Securities at any time, whether for hedging
purposes or otherwise.
Participation in Benefit Plans. This Policy does not prohibit an Insider from continuing to
make payroll contributions to the Target Stock Fund in the EDCP. However, the Insider may
not change investment elections for future payroll contributions involving the Target Stock
Fund or transfer existing fund balances into or out of the Target Stock Fund in the EDCP or
out of the Target Stock Fund in the 401(k) Plan if the Insider is aware of Material, Non-Public
Information about Target or is subject to a Prohibited Period.
Transactions By Family Members or Household Members or Transactions Subject to
Insider’s Control. An Insider is responsible for the transactions of anyone who lives in the
same household as the Insider (whether or not a family member), any family members who
do not reside with a Target Insider but are financially dependent on such Target Insider, and
anyone whose transactions are directed by any Target Insider or subject to a Target Insider’s
