April 27, 2010
Dear Autodesk Stockholder:
You are cordially invited to attend Autodesk’s 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on
Thursday, June 10, 2010 at 3:00 p.m., Pacific Time, at our San Francisco office, The Landmark, One Market
Street, 2nd Floor, San Francisco, California 94105.
At the 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, you will be asked to:
1. Elect the eight directors listed in the accompanying Proxy Statement;
2. Ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for
the fiscal year ending January 31, 2011;
3. Approve the Autodesk, Inc. Executive Incentive Plan (the “EIP”), as amended, pursuant to
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; and
4. Approve amendments to the Autodesk, Inc. 2008 Employee Stock Plan, as amended (the “2008 Plan”),
including to (i) increase the number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2008 Plan by 15.5 million
shares and (ii) extend the term of the 2008 Plan to June 28, 2013.
The accompanying Notice of 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and Proxy Statement describe these
proposals in greater detail. We encourage you to read this information carefully.
This year we are continuing to take advantage of a relatively new Securities and Exchange Commission rule
that allows us to furnish our proxy materials over the Internet to all of our stockholders rather than in paper form.
We believe that this delivery process reduces our environmental impact and lowers the costs of printing and
distributing our proxy materials without impacting our stockholders’ timely access to this important information.
We hope that you will be able to attend this year’s Annual Meeting. At the Annual Meeting we will report to
our stockholders on fiscal 2010. There will be an opportunity for all stockholders present at the Annual Meeting
to ask questions. Whether or not you plan to attend the meeting, please vote on the Internet or by telephone or
request, sign and return a proxy card to ensure your representation at the meeting. Your vote is important.
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to express our appreciation for your continued support of
Autodesk.
Very truly yours,
Carl Bass
Chief Executive Officer and President
