Procedures for Communicating with Directors
The board of directors has established a process by which shareholders and other interested parties can send
communications to board members. Shareholders and other interested parties can send written communications to
one or more members of Pier 1 Imports’ board of directors, addressed to:
[Name of Board Member], Board of Directors
Pier 1 Imports, Inc.
c/o Corporate Secretary
100 Pier 1 Place
Fort Worth, Texas 76102
In addition, shareholders and other interested parties may communicate with the chair or chairman of the audit
committee, compensation committee, or nominating and corporate governance committee by sending an email to
chairman of the board by sending an email to [email protected].
Communications are distributed to the board of directors or to the individual director or directors, as
appropriate, depending on the subject matter and facts and circumstances outlined in the communication.
Communications that are not related to the duties and responsibilities of the board of directors or a committee will
not be distributed, including spam, junk mail and mass mailings, product complaints, product inquiries, new product
suggestions, résumés and other forms of job inquiries, surveys, and business solicitations or advertisements. In
addition, Pier 1 Imports will not distribute unsuitable material to its directors, including material that is unduly
hostile, threatening or illegal.
Director Nomination Process
Board Member Qualification Criteria
The board of directors has adopted Board Member Qualification Criteria which set out the attributes and
qualifications considered by the nominating and corporate governance committee in evaluating nominees for
director. The primary qualities and characteristics the committee looks for in nominees for director are:
• management and leadership experience;

The committee believes that the board of directors should be comprised of individuals who have achieved a
high level of distinction in business, education or public service. As a group, the board of directors should possess a
diverse and broad range of skills, perspectives and experience relevant to Pier 1 Imports’ business, such as:
• accounting and financial literacy;
• general knowledge of the retail industry;
• information technology experience;
• international business experience; and
• chief executive officer, chief financial officer or other senior management experience.
