1. TRC Capital's mini-tender offer for 1.5M TGT shares at $89. 2. Target Corporation does not endorse this unsolicited offer. 3. Shareholders are advised to verify market prices and consult advisors. 4. Mini-tender offers often lack investor protections and can be risky. 5. TRC Capital has previously made similar unsolicited offers to other companies.
The unsolicited mini-tender offer does not significantly alter market perceptions of TGT, as it represents a small fraction of shares and is being cautioned against by Target, which could prevent a price decline. Historical offers have often had minimal impact unless coupled with further significant corporate events.
While the mini-tender offer and Target's response may alert investors, the small size of the offer and the company's stance lessens its broader market significance. Stakeholders might be momentarily concerned, but adequate warnings could mitigate lasting effects.
The immediate concern surrounding the mini-tender offer will fade as the expiration date approaches, especially with Target urging shareholders to exercise caution. Unless new, broader implications emerge, the urgency of this announcement will likely diminish quickly.
MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Target Corporation (NYSE:TGT) received notice of an unsolicited mini-tender offer by TRC Capital Corporation ("TRC Capital") to purchase up to 1,500,000 shares of Target's common stock at a price of $89.00 per share in cash, without interest. The offer is for approximately 0.33 percent of the outstanding shares of Target's common stock.
Target is not affiliated with TRC Capital and does not endorse this unsolicited mini-tender offer. Target is not associated with TRC Capital, its mini-tender offer, or the mini-tender offer documentation.
Target expresses no opinion on TRC Capital's offer and encourages shareholders to obtain current market quotations for their shares of Target common stock, consult with their brokers or financial advisors, review the terms and conditions of TRC Capital's offer, and exercise caution with respect to the offer. TRC Capital's offer is currently scheduled to expire one minute after 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on October 6, 2025.
TRC Capital has made similar unsolicited mini-tender offers for shares of other public companies. Mini-tender offers are designed to seek less than five percent of a company's outstanding shares, thereby avoiding many investor protections, including the disclosure and procedural requirements applicable to most bids under United States securities laws. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has cautioned investors about mini-tender offers, noting that "some bidders make mini-tender offers at below-market prices, hoping that they will catch investors off guard if the investors do not compare the offer price to the current market price." The SEC also published investor tips regarding these offers on its website at: https://www.sec.gov/about/reports-publications/investorpubsminitend.
Target encourages brokers and dealers, as well as other market participants, to review the SEC's letter regarding broker-dealer mini-tender offer dissemination and disclosures on the SEC's website at: http://www.sec.gov/divisions/marketreg/minitenders/sia072401.htm.
Target urges shareholders to obtain current market quotations for their shares, consult with their broker or financial advisor, review the terms and conditions of the offer, and exercise caution with respect to the offer.
Target requests that a copy of this news release be included with all distributions of materials relating to TRC Capital's mini-tender offer related to Target Corporation shares of common stock.
