PIER 1 IMPORTS, INC.
100 Pier 1 Place
Fort Worth, Texas 76102
May 9, 2014
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 Friday, June 20, 2014, 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
