Exchange Commission’s proxy rules. In order to curtail controversy as to the date on which we received a
proposal, it is suggested that proponents submit their proposals by Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested,
to iRobot Corporation, 8 Crosby Drive, Bedford, Massachusetts 01730, Attention: Secretary.
SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors, executive officers and persons who own more
than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities to file reports of ownership and changes in
ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such persons are required by regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission to furnish us with copies of all such filings. Based solely on our review
of copies of such filings we believe that all such persons complied on a timely basis with all Section 16(a)
filing requirements during the fiscal year ended January 1, 2011, except that each of Alison Dean, Helen
Greiner, Peter Meekin and Robert Moses did not timely file a Form 4 with respect to one transaction.
EXPENSES AND SOLICITATION
The cost of solicitation of proxies will be borne by us and, in addition to soliciting stockholders by mail
through its regular employees, we may request banks, brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries
to solicit their customers who have our stock registered in the names of a nominee and, if so, will reimburse
such banks, brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their reasonable out-of-pocket costs.
Solicitation by our officers and employees may also be made of some stockholders in person or by mail,
telephone, e-mail or telegraph following the original solicitation. We may also retain an independent proxy
solicitation firm to assist in the solicitation of proxies.
HOUSEHOLDING OF PROXY MATERIALS
Our 2010 Annual Report, including audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2011,
is being mailed to you along with this proxy statement. In order to reduce printing and postage costs,
Broadridge Financial Solutions has undertaken an effort to deliver only one Annual Report and one proxy
statement to multiple shareholders sharing an address. This delivery method, called “householding,” is not
being used, however, if Broadridge has received contrary instructions from one or more of the stockholders
sharing an address. If your household has received only one Annual Report and one proxy statement, we will
deliver promptly a separate copy of the Annual Report and the proxy statement to any shareholder who sends
a written request to iRobot Corporation, 8 Crosby Drive, Bedford, Massachusetts 01730, Attention: Secretary,
Office of the General Counsel, (781) 430-3000. If your household is receiving multiple copies of our Annual
Report or proxy statement and you wish to request delivery of a single copy, you may send a written request
to iRobot Corporation, 8 Crosby Drive, Bedford, Massachusetts 01730, Attention: Secretary, Office of the
General Counsel.
