100 Pier 1 Place
Fort Worth, Texas 76102
May 12, 2016
Dear Shareholder:
The board of directors and management cordially invite you to attend Pier 1 Imports’ annual meeting of
shareholders to be held at 10:00 a.m., local time, on Thursday, June 23, 2016, at Pier 1 Imports’ corporate
headquarters, Mezzanine Level, Conference Center Room C, 100 Pier 1 Place, Fort Worth, Texas 76102. The
formal notice of the annual meeting of shareholders and proxy statement are attached.
Pier 1 Imports has chosen to furnish its proxy statement and annual report to its shareholders over the Internet, as
allowed by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Rather than mailing paper copies, we believe
that this e-proxy process will expedite shareholder receipt of the materials, lower Pier 1 Imports’ expenses
associated with this process and eliminate unnecessary printing and paper usage. As a shareholder of Pier 1
Imports, you are receiving by mail (or electronic mail) a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (“Notice”),
which will instruct you on how to access and review the proxy statement and annual report over the Internet. The
Notice will also instruct you how to vote your shares over the Internet. Shareholders who would like to receive a
paper copy of the Pier 1 Imports proxy statement and annual report, free of charge, should follow the instructions
on the Notice. Shareholders who request paper copies will also receive a proxy card or voting instruction form to
allow them to vote their shares by mail in addition to over the Internet or by telephone.
It is important that your shares be voted at the meeting in accordance with your preference. If you do not plan to
attend, you may vote your shares by following the instructions in the Notice. If you are able to attend the meeting
and wish to vote in person, you may withdraw your proxy at that time. See the response to the question “How do I
vote?” in the proxy statement for a more detailed description of voting procedures and the response to the
question “Do I need an admission ticket to attend the annual meeting?” in the proxy statement for our procedures
for admission to the meeting.
Sincerely,
Alexander W. Smith
President and Chief Executive Officer
Terry E. London
Chairman of the Board
