The jobs cuts will be made in the next five weeks and will target corporate and back-office roles, and some technology jobs, CEO Mike Sievert said in an email to employees.

Retail and consumer care divisions will not be impacted, it added.

The company expects to incur a pre-tax charge of about $450 million in the third quarter.

Shares of the company were down about 0.4% in early trading.
