FURTHER INFORMATION FOR U.S. OR CANADIAN “STREET NAME” BENEFICIAL OWNERS
Why did I receive a one-page notice in the mail regarding the Internet availability of proxy materials
instead of a full set of proxy materials?
We have provided access to our proxy materials over the Internet to beneficial owners holding their shares
in “street name” through a U.S. or Canadian broker, trustee or nominee. Accordingly, such brokers, trustees or
nominees are forwarding a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) to such beneficial
owners. All such shareholders will have the ability to access the proxy materials on a website referred to in the
Notice or request to receive a printed set of the proxy materials. Instructions on how to access the proxy materials
over the Internet or to request a printed copy may be found on the Notice. In addition, beneficial owners holding
their shares in street name through a U.S. or Canadian broker, trustee or nominee may request to receive proxy
materials in printed form by mail or electronically by email on an ongoing basis.
How can I get electronic access to the proxy materials?
The Notice will provide you with instructions regarding how to:
• View our proxy materials for the meeting on the Internet; and
• Instruct us to send our future proxy materials to you electronically by email.
Choosing to receive your future proxy materials by email will save us the cost of printing and mailing
documents to you and will reduce the impact of our annual shareholders’ meetings on the environment. If you
choose to receive future proxy materials by email, you will receive an email next year with instructions containing
a link to those materials and a link to the proxy voting site. Your election to receive proxy materials by email will
remain in effect until you terminate it.
Who may provide voting instructions for the meeting?
For purposes of U.S. or Canadian beneficial shareholder voting, shareholders holding shares through a
U.S. or Canadian broker, trustee or nominee organization on July 13, 2012 may direct the organization on how
to vote. Logitech has made arrangements with a service company to U.S. and Canadian brokers, trustees and
nominee organizations for that service company to provide a reconciliation of share positions of U.S. and Canadian
“street name” beneficial owners between July 13, 2012 and August 22, 2012, which Logitech determined is the
last practicable date before the meeting for such a reconciliation. These arrangements are intended to result in
the following adjustments: If a U.S. or Canadian “street name” beneficial owner as of July 13, 2012 votes but
subsequently sells their shares before August 22, 2012, their votes will be cancelled. A U.S. or Canadian “street
name” beneficial owner as of July 13, 2012 that has voted and subsequently increases or decreases their shareholdings
but remains a beneficial owner as of August 22, 2012 will have their votes increased or decreased to reflect their
shareholdings as of August 22, 2012.
If you acquire Logitech shares in “street name” after July 13, 2012 through a U.S. or Canadian broker, trustee
or nominee, and wish to vote at the meeting or provide voting instructions by proxy, you must become a registered
shareholder. You may become a registered shareholder by contacting your broker, trustee or nominee, and following
their registration instructions. In order to allow adequate time for registration, for proxy materials to be sent to you,
and for your voting instructions to be returned to us before the meeting, please begin the registration process as far
before August 30, 2012 as possible.
If I am a U.S. or Canadian “street name” beneficial owner, how do I vote?
If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and you wish to vote in person at the meeting,
you must obtain a valid proxy from the organization that holds your shares.
If you do not wish to vote in person, you may vote by proxy. You may vote by proxy over the Internet, or if
you request printed copies of the proxy materials by mail, you can also vote by mail or by telephone by following
the instructions provided in the Notice.
