The availability of telephone and Internet voting for beneficial owners will depend on the voting
processes of your broker, bank or other shareholder of record. We therefore recommend that you follow
the voting instructions in the materials you receive.
If you vote by telephone or on the Internet, you do not have to return your proxy card or voting
instruction card.
•In person at the annual meeting
All shareholders may vote in person at the annual meeting. You may also be represented by another
person at the annual meeting by executing a proper proxy designating that person. If you are a beneficial
owner of shares, you must obtain a legal proxy from your broker, bank or other shareholder of record
and present it to the inspector of election with your ballot to be able to vote at the annual meeting.
Your vote is important. Your timely response can save us the expense of attempting to contact you again.
What can I do if I change my mind after I vote my shares?
If you are a shareholder of record, you can revoke your proxy before it is exercised by:
• written notice to our corporate secretary at 100 Pier 1 Place, Fort Worth, Texas 76102;
• timely delivery of a valid, later-dated proxy or a later-dated vote by telephone or on the Internet; or
• voting by ballot at the annual meeting.
If you are a beneficial owner of shares, you may submit new voting instructions by contacting your bank,
broker or other shareholder of record. You may also vote in person at the annual meeting if you obtain a legal
proxy as described in the answer to the previous question.
All shares that have been properly voted and not revoked will be voted at the annual meeting.
What shares are included on the proxy card?
If you are a shareholder of record you will receive only one proxy card for all the shares you hold:
• in certificate form
• in book-entry form
• in book-entry form purchased through the Pier 1 Imports, Inc. Direct Stock Purchase and Dividend
Reinvestment Plan;
and if you are a Pier 1 Imports employee:
• in the Pier 1 Imports, Inc. Stock Purchase Plan
• in book-entry form granted under the Pier 1 Imports, Inc. Management Restricted Stock Plan and the
Pier 1 Imports, Inc. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan as a restricted stock award.
If you are a Pier 1 Imports employee who participates in the Pier 1 Imports, Inc. Stock Purchase Plan and
you do not vote or specify your voting instructions on your proxy card, the administrator of the Pier 1 Imports,
Inc. Stock Purchase Plan will vote the shares allocated to you through the Pier 1 Imports, Inc. Stock Purchase
Plan in the same proportion as the shares held in the Pier 1 Imports, Inc. Stock Purchase Plan for which voting
instructions have been received are voted.
If you are a beneficial owner, you will receive voting instructions, and information regarding consolida-
tion of your vote, from your bank, broker or other shareholder of record.
