April 24, 2012
Dear Autodesk Stockholder:
You are cordially invited to attend Autodesk’s 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on
Thursday, June 7, 2012 at 3:00 p.m., Pacific Time, at our San Francisco office, The Landmark, One Market
Street, 2nd Floor, San Francisco, California 94105.
The 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders will be held for the following purposes:
1. to elect the nine directors listed in the accompanying Proxy Statement;
2. to ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm
for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2013;
3. to hold a non-binding vote to approve named executive officer compensation; and
4. to transact such other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting.
The accompanying Notice of 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and Proxy Statement describe these
proposals in greater detail. We encourage you to read this information carefully.
This year we are continuing to take advantage of the Securities and Exchange Commission rule that
allows us to furnish our proxy materials over the Internet to all of our stockholders rather than in paper
form. We believe that this delivery process reduces our environmental impact and lowers the costs of
printing and distributing our proxy materials without impacting our stockholders’ timely access to this
important information.
We hope that you will be able to attend this year’s Annual Meeting. At the Annual Meeting we will report
to our stockholders on fiscal 2012. There will be an opportunity for all stockholders present at the Annual
Meeting to ask questions. Whether or not you plan to attend the meeting, please vote on the Internet or by
telephone or request, sign and return a proxy card to ensure your representation at the meeting. Your vote
is important.
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to express our appreciation for your continued support of
Autodesk.
Very truly yours,
Carl Bass
President and Chief Executive Officer
