•By telephone or on the Internet
The telephone and Internet voting procedures established by us for shareholders of record are
designed to authenticate your identity, to allow you to give your voting instructions and to
confirm that those instructions have been properly recorded.
You can vote by calling the toll-free telephone number on your proxy card. Please have your
proxy card in hand when you call. Easy-to-follow voice prompts allow you to vote your shares
and confirm that your instructions have been properly recorded. If you are located outside the
U.S. and Canada please use the mail or Internet voting methods.
The web site for Internet voting is http://www.proxyvoting.com/pir. Please have your proxy card in
hand when you go online. As with telephone voting, you can confirm that your instructions have
been properly recorded.
Telephone and Internet voting facilities for shareholders of record will be available 24 hours a
day, and will close at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on June 30, 2009.
The availability of telephone and Internet voting for beneficial owners will depend on the voting
processes of your broker, bank or other holder of record. We therefore recommend that you
follow the voting instructions in the materials provided to you by your broker, bank or other
holder of record.
If you vote by telephone or on the Internet, you do not have to return your proxy card or voting
instruction card.
•In person at the annual meeting
All shareholders may vote in person at the annual meeting. You may also be represented by
another person at the annual meeting by executing a proper proxy designating that person. If
you are a beneficial owner of shares, you must obtain a legal proxy from your broker, bank or
other holder of record and present it to the inspector of election with your ballot to be able to
vote at the annual meeting.
Your vote is important. Your timely response can save us the expense of attempting to contact you
again.
What can I do if I change my mind after I vote my shares?
If you are a shareholder of record, you can revoke your proxy prior to the completion of voting at
the meeting by:
• written notice to our corporate secretary at 100 Pier 1 Place, Fort Worth, Texas 76102;
• timely delivery of a valid, later-dated proxy; or
• voting in person at the annual meeting.
If you are a beneficial owner of shares, you may submit new voting instructions by contacting your
broker, bank or other holder of record. You may also vote in person at the annual meeting if you
obtain a legal proxy as described in the answer to the previous question.
What shares are included on the proxy card?
If you are a shareholder of record you will receive only one proxy card for all the shares you hold:
• in certificate form
• in book-entry form
