STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR NEXT ANNUAL MEETING
If you want to make a proposal for consideration at next year’s Annual Meeting and have it included in the
Company’s proxy materials, the Company must receive your proposal by November 26, 2009, and the proposal
must comply with the rules of the SEC.
If you want to make a proposal or nominate a Director for consideration at next year’s Annual Meeting without
having the proposal included in the Company’s proxy materials, you must comply with the current advance notice
provisions and other requirements set forth in the Company’s Bylaws, including that the Company must receive
your proposal on or after January 26, 2010 and on or prior to February 20, 2010, with certain exceptions if the date of
the Annual Meeting is advanced by more than 30 days or delayed by more than 60 days from the anniversary date of
the 2009 Annual Meeting.
If the Company does not receive your proposal or nomination by the appropriate deadline, then it may not be
brought before the 2010 Annual Meeting.
The fact that the Company may not insist upon compliance with these requirements should not be construed as
a waiver by the Company of its right to do so at any time in the future.
You should address your proposals or nominations to the Corporate Secretary, Starwood Hotels & Resorts
Worldwide, Inc., 1111 Westchester Avenue, White Plains, New York 10604.
By Order of the Board of Directors
STARWOOD HOTELS & RESORTS
WORLDWIDE, INC.
