Target is dropping the mandatory retirement age for its CEO and extended its contract with Chief Executive Brian Cornell for three years.
Cornell would have passed mandatory retirement age in that span.
“In discussions about the company’s longer term plans, it was important to us as a board to assure our stakeholders that Brian intends to stay in his role beyond the traditional retirement age of 65,” said said Monica Lozano, the lead independent director of Target’s board.
