Audit Committee Review and Pre-Approval of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm’s
Services
The Audit Committee has considered the non-audit services provided by KPMG LLP as described above and
believes that they are compatible with maintaining KPMG LLP’s independence as Coinstar’s principal registered
public accounting firm.
Pursuant to its charter, the Audit Committee pre-approves the retention of Coinstar’s independent registered
public accounting firm for all audit, review, and attest engagements and all non-audit services that the independent
registered public accounting firm are permitted to provide the Company and approves the fees for all such services,
other than de minimis non-audit services as allowed by applicable law. Pre-approval of audit and non-audit services
is exclusive to the Audit Committee and may not be delegated to management. The Audit Committee has delegated
pre-approval authority to the chairperson of the Audit Committee. The chairperson is required to report his
decisions to the Audit Committee at regularly scheduled meetings and may not authorize the approval of any audit,
