Proxy Materials
May 2, 2016
Dear Autodesk Stockholder:
15,
2016, at 3:00 p.m., Pacific Time, at our San Francisco office, The Landmark, One Market Street, 2nd Floor, San Francisco,
California 94105.
The 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders will be held for the following purposes:
1. To elect the eleven directors listed in the accompanying Proxy Statement;
2. To ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal
year ending January 31, 2017;
3. To hold a non-binding vote to approve compensation for our named executive officers; and
4. To transact such other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting.
The accompanying Notice of 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and Proxy Statement describe these proposals in
greater detail. We encourage you to read this information carefully.
We are once again relying on the Securities and Exchange Commission rule that allows us to furnish our proxy materials
to our stockholders over the Internet rather than in paper form. We believe this delivery process reduces both our environmental
impact and the costs of printing and distributing our proxy materials without hindering our stockholders' timely access to this
important information.
We hope you will be able to attend this year's Annual Meeting. We will report on fiscal 2016, and there will be an
opportunity for stockholders to ask questions. Even if you plan to attend the meeting, please ensure that you are represented by
voting in advance. You can vote online or by telephone, or you can request, sign, date and return a proxy card, to ensure your
representation at the meeting. Your vote is very 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
President and Chief Executive Officer
