PROPOSAL 1
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
Composition of the Board
The Board currently consists of nine directors. All directors serve a one-year term and are subject
to re-election each year.
The current composition of the Board is:
• Jerry C. Atkin, Chairman
• W. Steve Albrecht
• Margaret S. Billson
• Henry J. Eyring
• Ronald J. Mittelstaedt
• Robert G. Sarver
• Keith E. Smith
• Steven F. Udvar-Hazy
• James L. Welch
The Board Recommends That Shareholders Vote FOR All Eight Nominees Listed Below.
Nominees for Election as Directors
At the Meeting, the Company proposes to elect eight directors to hold office until the 2016
Annual Meeting of Shareholders and until their successors have been elected and have qualified. The
eight nominees for election at the Meeting are listed below. All of the nominees have consented to be
named as a nominee, and, other than Andrew C. Roberts, all of the nominees are currently serving as a
director of the Company. Mr. Robert G. Sarver and Ms. Margaret S. Billson, who have served as
directors of the Company since 2000 and 2006 respectively, have declined to stand for re-election at the
Meeting. Upon learning of Mr. Sarver and Ms. Billson’s decisions, the Nominating and Corporate
Governance Committee of the Board commenced a search to identify qualified individuals to fill the
vacancies anticipated to result from Mr. Sarver and Ms. Billson’s departures. As a result of that search,
the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee identified Mr. Roberts as a possible candidate
to serve as a director of the Company. After further review and interviews, the Nominating and
Corporate Governance Committee recommended to the Board that Mr. Roberts be nominated for
election as a director of the Company at the Meeting. The Board considered the recommendation of
the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, and has nominated Mr. Roberts for election as
a director of the Company at the Meeting. Accordingly, shareholders voting in person or by proxy at
the Meeting may only vote for eight nominees. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
is continuing its search to identify a qualified individual to fill the remaining anticipated vacancy on the
Board. If, prior to the Meeting, any of the nominees becomes unable to serve as a director, the Board
may designate a substitute nominee. In that event, the persons named as proxies intend to vote for the
substitute nominee designated by the Board.
The Board and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believe that each of the
following nominees possesses the experience and qualifications that directors of the Company should
possess, as described in detail below, and that the experience and qualifications of each nominee
