QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE 2013 ANNUAL MEETING AND
PROCEDURAL MATTERS
2013 Annual Meeting
Q: Why am I receiving these proxy materials?
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
A: The Board of Directors (“Board”) of Autodesk, Inc. (“Autodesk,” “we” or “our”) is providing these proxy materials to you
in connection with the solicitation of proxies for use at our 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) to be
held on Thursday, June 13, 2013, at 3:00 p.m., Pacific Time, and at any adjournment or postponement thereof, for the purpose
of considering and acting upon the matters set forth herein. We are providing these materials to all of our stockholders through a
Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) unless a stockholder has specifically requested a full set paper
copy of this Proxy Statement together with our fiscal year 2013 Annual Report.
Q: Why did I receive a Notice in the mail regarding the Internet availability of proxy materials instead of a
full set paper copy of this Proxy Statement and fiscal year 2013 Annual Report?
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
A: We are once again relying on a Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rule that allows companies to furnish their
proxy materials over the Internet rather than in paper form. This rule allows us to send all of our stockholders a Notice that
explains how to access the proxy materials over the Internet or how to request a paper copy of proxy materials. If you would
prefer to receive proxy materials in printed form by mail or electronically by email on an ongoing basis, please follow the
instructions contained in the Notice. Proxy materials for our 2014 and future annual meetings of stockholders will be delivered
to all of our stockholders by a Notice rather than in paper form unless a stockholder specifically requests to receive printed
proxy materials.
Q: Why did I receive a full set paper copy of this Proxy Statement in the mail and not a Notice regarding the
Internet availability of proxy materials?
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
A: Stockholders who previously requested full paper copies of the proxy materials are receiving paper copies of the proxy
materials instead of a Notice this year. If you would like to reduce the costs we incur in printing and mailing proxy materials,
you can consent to receiving all future proxy statements, proxy cards and annual reports electronically via email or the Internet.
To sign up for electronic delivery, please follow the instructions provided at www.autodesk.com under “Investor Relations” or
on your proxy card or voting instruction form.
Q: Where is the Annual Meeting?
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
A: The Annual Meeting will be held at Autodesk’s San Francisco office, located at The Landmark, One Market Street, 2nd
Floor, San Francisco, California 94105. The telephone number at that location is [phone]. Directions and maps to the
Annual Meeting are available at www.autodesk.com under “Contact Us.”
