What if I want to change my vote(s)?
You may revoke your proxy prior to the close of voting at the Annual Meeting by any of the following methods:
• sending written notice of revocation to our Secretary;
• sending a signed proxy card bearing a later date to our Secretary; or
• attending the Annual Meeting, revoking your proxy and voting in person.
What is householding?
Householding is a cost-cutting procedure used by us and approved by the SEC. Under the householding
procedure, we send only one Notice or Annual Report and Proxy Statement to shareholders of record who share
the same address and last name, unless one of those shareholders notifies us that the shareholder would like a
separate Notice or Annual Report and Proxy Statement. A shareholder may notify us that the shareholder would
like a separate Notice or Annual Report and Proxy Statement by phone at 415-421-7900 or at the following
mailing address: Williams-Sonoma, Inc., Attention: Annual Report Administrator, 3250 Van Ness Avenue,
San Francisco, California 94109. If we receive such notification that the shareholder wishes to receive a separate
Notice or Annual Report and Proxy Statement, we will promptly deliver such Notice or Annual Report and Proxy
Statement. A separate proxy card is included in the materials for each shareholder of record. If you wish to
update your participation in householding, you may contact your broker or our mailing agent, Broadridge
Investor Communications Solutions, at 800-542-1061.
What if I received more than one proxy card?
If you received more than one proxy card, it means that you have multiple accounts with brokers and/or our
transfer agent. You must complete each proxy card in order to vote all of your shares. If you are interested in
consolidating your accounts, you may contact your broker or our transfer agent, Wells Fargo Shareowner
Services, at 800-468-9716.
Who pays the expenses incurred in connection with the solicitation of proxies?
We pay all of the expenses incurred in preparing, assembling and mailing the Notice or this Proxy Statement and
the materials enclosed. We have retained Skinner & Company to assist in the solicitation of proxies at an
estimated cost to us of $3,500. Some of our officers or employees may solicit proxies personally or by telephone
or other means. None of those officers or employees will receive special compensation for such services.
