Our by-laws provide an alternative procedure for submitting shareholder proposals. While a shareholder
proposal submitted in accordance with the following procedures may be presented at a meeting, such proposal is not

item of business at a shareholders’ meeting, a shareholder’s notice must be received by us not less than 50 nor more
than 75 days prior to the date of the scheduled shareholders’ meeting. If the public announcement of the holding of
the shareholders’ meeting was given less than 65 days prior to the date of such meeting, then a shareholder’s notice
received by us within ten days of the date of such public announcement will be considered timely. The
shareholder’s notice should be sent to:
Pep Boys
3111 West Allegheny Avenue
Philadelphia, PA 19132
Attention: Secretary
The shareholder’s notice shall set forth all of the following information:
•the name and address of the shareholder
•a representation that the shareholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting
•a general description of each item of business proposed to be brought before the meeting
The presiding officer of the meeting may refuse to consider any business attempted to be brought before any
shareholder meeting that does not comply with these procedures.
