proxy grants to Messrs. Ayer and Loveless
the authority to vote the shares for which
they hold proxies in their discretion.
What does it mean if I receive more than
one proxy card, voting instruction form or
email notification from the Company?
It means that you have more than one
account for your Alaska Air Group shares.
Please complete and submit all proxies to
ensure that all your shares are voted or vote
by internet or telephone using each of the
identification numbers.
What if I change my mind after I submit my
proxy?
You may revoke your proxy and change your
vote by delivering a later-dated proxy or,
except for persons who beneficially own
shares held in trust in one of the Company’s
401(k) retirement plans, by voting at the
meeting. The later-dated proxy may be
delivered by telephone, internet or mail and
need not be delivered by the same means
used in delivering the to-be-revoked proxy.
Except for persons beneficially holding
shares in one of the Company’s 401(k)
retirement plans, you may do this at a later
date or time by:
• voting by telephone or on the internet
(which may not be available to some
beneficial holders) before 11:59 p.m.
Eastern Time on Monday, May 17,
2010 (your latest telephone or internet
proxy is counted);
• signing and delivering a proxy card with
a later date; or
• voting at the meeting. (If you hold your
shares beneficially through a broker,
you must bring a legal proxy from the
broker in order to vote at the meeting.
Please also note that attendance at the
meeting, in and of itself, without voting
in person at the meeting, will not cause
your previously granted proxy to be
revoked.)
Persons beneficially holding shares in one of
the Company’s 401(k) retirement plans
cannot vote in person at the meeting and
must vote in accordance with instructions
from the trustees. Subject to these
qualifications, such holders have the same
rights as other record and beneficial holders
to change their votes.
If you are a registered stockholder, you can
obtain a new proxy card by contacting the
Company’s Corporate Secretary, Alaska Air
Group, Inc., P.O. Box 68947, Seattle,
WA 98168, telephone [phone].
If your shares are held by a broker, trustee
or bank, you can obtain a new voting
instruction form by contacting your broker,
trustee or bank.
If your shares are held by one of the
Company’s 401(k) retirement plans, you can
obtain a new voting instruction form by
contacting the trustee of such plan. You can
obtain information about how to contact the
trustee from the Company’s Corporate
Secretary. Please refer to the section below
titled “How are shares voted that are held in
a Company 401(k) plan?” for more
information.
If you sign and date the proxy card or voting
instruction form and submit it in accordance
with the accompanying instructions and in a
timely manner, any earlier proxy card or
voting instruction form will be revoked and
your choices on the proxy card or voting
instruction form will be voted as you
instruct.
