Executive Committee. An executive committee was designated by the board of directors through June 26,
2012. The executive committee, during intervals between board meetings, had all of the powers and authority of the
full board in the management of Pier 1 Imports’ business, except for powers or authority that may not be delegated
to the executive committee pursuant to Pier 1 Imports’ bylaws, or as a matter of law or that are delegated by the
board of directors to another committee. The non-executive chairman of the board was chairman of the executive
committee. An executive committee was not designated by the board of directors after June 26, 2012 and is not
currently designated.
Directors Attendance at Board and Committee Meetings and at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders
In fiscal 2013, each director attended at least 75% of the total number of board of directors meetings and
meetings of the board of directors standing committee or committees on which he or she served and which were
held during the time of his or her service as a director and/or committee member. Although Pier 1 Imports has no
formal policy on the matter, all directors are encouraged to attend Pier 1 Imports’ annual meeting of shareholders.
Last year, all directors then serving at the time attended Pier 1 Imports’ annual meeting of shareholders in person,
except Mr. Ferrari who attended by telephone. Committee memberships, the number of meetings of the full board
and each standing committee, and each director’s dates of service for fiscal 2013 are shown in the table below.
