PIER 1 IMPORTS, INC.
100 Pier 1 Place
Fort Worth, Texas 76102
PROXY STATEMENT
FOR
ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
To Be Held June 29, 2010
Questions and Answers Regarding the Proxy Statement and Annual Meeting
Why did I receive a notice in the mail regarding the Internet availability of proxy materials instead of a full
set of proxy materials?
Pursuant to rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), Pier 1 Imports has elected to
provide access to its proxy materials over the Internet or, upon your request, has delivered printed versions of these
materials to you by mail. These materials are being provided in connection with Pier 1 Imports’ solicitation of
proxies for use at the annual meeting of shareholders, to be held on Tuesday, June 29, 2010 at 10:00 a.m. local time
or at any adjournment or postponement thereof. Accordingly, Pier 1 Imports is sending a Notice of Internet
Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) on May 17, 2010 to Pier 1 Imports’ shareholders entitled to notice of
and to vote at the meeting.
All shareholders will have the ability to access the proxy materials on the web site referred to in the Notice or
request to receive a printed set of the proxy materials. Instructions on how to access the proxy materials over the
Internet or to request a printed copy may be found in the Notice. In addition, shareholders may request to receive
proxy materials in printed form by mail or electronically by email on an ongoing basis. Pier 1 Imports encourages
shareholders to take advantage of the availability of the proxy materials on the Internet.
You are invited to attend the annual meeting and are requested to vote on the proposals described in this proxy
statement. The annual meeting will be held on the Mezzanine Level, in Conference Center Room C, of Pier 1
Imports’ principal executive offices located at the address shown above.
How can I get electronic access to the proxy materials?
The Notice will provide you with instructions regarding how to:
• View Pier 1 Imports’ proxy materials for the annual meeting on the Internet; and
• Instruct Pier 1 Imports to send future proxy materials to you electronically by email.
Pier 1 Imports’ proxy materials are also available on Pier 1 Imports’ web site at www.pier1.com/annualreport.
If you previously elected to access your proxy materials over the Internet, you will not receive a Notice or
printed proxy materials in the mail. Instead you have received an email with a link to the proxy materials and voting
instructions.
Choosing to receive future proxy materials by email will save Pier 1 Imports the cost of printing and mailing
documents to you thereby lowering the costs associated with the annual meeting. If you choose to receive future
proxy materials by email, you will receive an email message next year with instructions containing a link to those
materials and a link to the proxy voting web site. Your election to receive proxy materials by email will remain in
effect until you terminate it.
