What if I return my proxy card directly to the company, but do not provide voting instructions?
If a signed proxy card is returned to us without any indication of how your shares should be voted, votes will be
cast “FOR” the election of the directors named in this Proxy Statement, “FOR” the amendment and restatement
of our 2001 Long-Term Incentive Plan, “FOR” the approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of our
Named Executive Officers, and “FOR” the ratification of the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our
independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2016.
May I attend the Annual Meeting?
Only stockholders of record at the close of business on March 30, 2015, the record date, are entitled to attend the
Annual Meeting. Stockholders planning to attend the Annual Meeting must present photo identification and proof
of ownership on the record date in order to be admitted. Proof of ownership can be a brokerage or account
statement indicating ownership on March 30, 2015, the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, a
proxy card, or a legal proxy or voting instruction card provided by your broker, bank or nominee. We reserve the
right to deny admittance to anyone who cannot adequately show proof of share ownership as of the record date.

in person, on the Internet, by telephone or by signed proxy card, and abstentions and broker non-votes, will be
included in the calculation of the number of shares considered to be present for purposes of determining whether
there is a quorum at the Annual Meeting.
