Meeting. If your shares are held in a brokerage account or by a bank or another nominee, you also will need to bring a copy of a

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 2015 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 2016 and future annual meetings of stockholders will be delivered
to you by a Notice rather than in paper form unless you specifically request 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 again this year. If
you would like to reduce the costs we incur in printing and mailing proxy materials, you can consent to receive 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.
