Proxy Statement
Our secretary will promptly forward any such nominations to the nominating and corporate governance
committee. Once the nominating and corporate governance committee receives the nomination of a candidate
and the candidate has complied with the minimum procedural requirements above, such candidacy will be
evaluated and a recommendation with respect to such candidate will be delivered to the board of directors.
Policy Governing Security Holder Communications with the Board of Directors
The board of directors provides to every security holder the ability to communicate with the board of
directors as a whole and with individual directors on the board of directors through an established process for
security holder communication as follows:
For communications directed to the board of directors as a whole, security holders may send such
communications to the attention of the chairman of the board of directors by U.S. mail (including courier or
expedited delivery service) to:
iRobot Corporation
8 Crosby Drive
Bedford, Massachusetts 01730
Attn: Chairman of the Board, c/o Secretary
For security holder communications directed to an individual director in his or her capacity as a member of
the board of directors, security holders may send such communications to the attention of the individual director
by U.S. mail (including courier or expedited delivery service) to:
iRobot Corporation
8 Crosby Drive
Bedford, Massachusetts 01730
Attn: [Name of the director], c/o Secretary
We will forward any such security holder communication to the chairman of the board, as a representative
of the board of directors, or to the director to whom the communication is addressed, on a periodic basis. We will
forward such communications by certified U.S. mail to an address specified by each director and the chairman of
the board for such purposes or by secure electronic transmission.
Policy Governing Director Attendance at Annual Meetings of Stockholders
Our policy is to schedule a regular meeting of the board of directors on the same date as our annual meeting
of stockholders and, accordingly, directors are encouraged to be present at our stockholder meetings. The ten
(10) board members, who were directors at the time of the annual meeting of stockholders held in 2011, attended
the meeting.
Board of Directors Evaluation Program
The board of directors performs annual self-evaluations of its composition and performance, including
evaluations of its standing committees and individual evaluations for each director. In addition, each of the
standing committees of the board of directors conducts its own self-evaluation, which is reported to the board of
directors. The board of directors retains the authority to engage its own advisors and consultants.
