CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Review, Approval or Ratification of Related Person Transactions
Autodesk’s Related Party Transactions Policy states that all transactions between or among the Company
and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and any Related Party, as defined, requires the prior written approval of the
Chief Financial Officer. Non-routine Transactions with vendors and suppliers to the Company and its wholly-
owned subsidiaries require the prior written approval of the Corporate Controller. In addition, in accordance with
our Code of Business Conduct and the charter for the Audit Committee, our Audit Committee reviews and
approves in advance any proposed “related person” transactions. Any related person transaction will be disclosed
in the applicable SEC filing as required by the rules of the SEC. For purposes of these procedures, “related
person” and “transaction” have the meanings contained in Item 404 of Regulation S-K.
Related Party Transactions
During fiscal 2009, the law firm of Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, Professional Corporation, acted as
principal outside legal counsel to Autodesk. Mark A. Bertelsen, a director of Autodesk, is a member of
Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, Professional Corporation. During fiscal 2009, payments by Autodesk to
Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati were less than one percent of such firm’s revenues in the last fiscal year and
less than 0.2 percent of our revenues for our fiscal 2009. We believe that the services performed by Wilson
Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati were provided on terms no more or less favorable than those with unrelated parties.
SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and executive officers, and persons who own more
than 10 percent of a registered class of our equity securities (“10 percent Stockholders”), to file reports of
ownership on Form 3 and changes in ownership on Form 4 or 5 with the SEC and The Nasdaq Stock Market.
Such executive officers, directors and 10 percent Stockholders are also required by SEC rules to furnish us with
copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file.
Based solely on our review of the copies of such reports furnished to us and written representations that no
other reports were required to be filed during fiscal 2009, we are not aware of any late Section 16(a) filings.
