GENERAL INFORMATION
instructions to your broker, your broker may
exercise its discretion to vote your shares
on the proposal to ratify the appointment of
the Company’s independent accountants but
will not be permitted to vote your shares on
any of the other items. If your broker
exercises this discretion, your shares will be
counted as present for the purpose of
determining a quorum at the Annual Meeting
and will be voted on the proposal to ratify
the Company’s independent accountants in
the manner instructed by your broker, but
your shares will constitute “broker non-
votes” on each of the other items at the
Annual Meeting. For a description of the
effect of broker non-votes on the proposals,
see
“How many votes must the nominees
have to be elected?” and “Not including the
election of directors, how many votes must
the proposals receive in order to pass?”
What other business may be properly
brought before the meeting, and what
discretionary authority is granted?
Under the Company’s Bylaws, as amended
April 30, 2010, a stockholder may bring
business before the meeting or for
publication in the Company’s 2013 Proxy
Statement only if the stockholder gave
written notice to the Company on or before
December 6, 2012, and complied with the
other requirements included in Article II of
the Company’s Bylaws.
The Company has not received valid notice
that any business other than that described
or referenced in this Proxy Statement will be
brought before the meeting.
As to any other matters that may properly
come before the meeting and are not on the
proxy card, the proxy grants to Messrs. Tilden
and Loveless the authority to vote in their
discretion the shares for which they hold
proxies.
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 phone using each of the
identification numbers.
What if I change my mind after I submit my
proxy?
Stockholders, except for persons who
beneficially own shares held in trust in one
of the Company’s 401(k) retirement plans,
may revoke a proxy and change a vote by
delivering a later-dated proxy or by voting at
the meeting. The later-dated proxy may be
delivered by phone, Internet or mail and
need not be delivered by the same means
used in delivering the prior proxy
submission.
Except for persons beneficially owning
shares in one of the Company’s 401(k)
retirement plans, stockholders may do this
at a later date or time by:
• voting by phone or the Internet before
11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on Monday,
May 20, 2013 (your latest phone or
Internet proxy will be 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.)
