Open Letter to Shareholders
In an open letter to shareholders, Gregg Steinhafel, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Target Corporation, states, “We believe Pershing Square has presented no plan or strategy to justify a change in your Board or management team. It appears that Pershing Square has launched its proxy contest because Target rejected Pershing Square’s risky real estate proposal after careful evaluation.”
