PROX Y S TATEM ENT
6262
What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card?
It means that you hold shares in more than one account. To ensure that all your shares are voted, sign and return
each card. Alternatively, if you vote by telephone or on the Internet, you will need to vote once for each proxy card and
voting instruction card you receive.
Who tabulates the votes?
The votes are tabulated by an independent inspector of election, IVS Associates, Inc.
What should I do if I want to attend the annual meeting?
All shareholders as of the record date may attend by presenting the admission ticket that appears at the end of this
proxy statement. Please fill it out and bring it with you to the meeting. The meeting will be held at the Lilly Center
Auditorium. Please use the Lilly Center entrance to the south of the fountain at the intersection of Delaware and
McCarty streets. You will need to pass through security, including a metal detector. Present your ticket to the usher
at the meeting.
Parking will be available on a first-come, first-served basis in the garage indicated on the map on page 95.
If you have questions about admittance or parking, you may call 317-433-5112.
Will the annual meeting be available on the Internet?
The annual meeting will be broadcast live via webcast on the company’s website. To join the live webcast, go to
www.lilly.com and click on the annual meeting link that appears on the home page. The webcast will be available in
both the Windows Media™ Player and RealPlayer® formats. It will be available for replay on the Lilly website until
May 24, 2006.
How do I contact the board of directors?
You can send written communications to one or more members of the board, addressed to:
Presiding Director, Board of Directors
Eli Lilly and Company
c/o Corporate Secretary
Lilly Corporate Center
Indianapolis, Indiana 46285
All such communications will be forwarded to the relevant director(s), except for solicitations or other matters
unrelated to the company.
How do I submit a shareholder proposal for the 2007 annual meeting?
The company’s 2007 annual meeting is scheduled for April 16, 2007. If a shareholder wishes to have a proposal con-
sidered for inclusion in next year’s proxy statement, he or she must submit the proposal in writing so that we receive
it by November 13, 2006. Proposals should be addressed to the company’s corporate secretary, Lilly Corporate Cen-
ter, Indianapolis, Indiana 46285. In addition, the company’s bylaws provide that any shareholder wishing to propose
any other business at the annual meeting must give the company written notice by November 13, 2006. That notice
must provide certain other information as described in the bylaws. Copies of the bylaws are available online at
http://investor.lilly.com/bylaws.cfm.
Does the company offer an opportunity to receive future proxy materials electronically?
Yes. If you are a shareholder of record or a member of the 401(k) plan, you may, if you wish, receive future proxy state-
ments and annual reports online. If you elect this feature, you will receive an e-mail message notifying you when the
materials are available along with a web address for viewing the materials and instructions for voting by telephone or
on the Internet. If you have more than one account, you may receive separate e-mail notifications for each account.
You may sign up for electronic delivery in two ways:
• If you vote online as described above, you may sign up for electronic delivery at that time.
• You may sign up at any time by visiting http://proxyonline.lilly.com.
If you received these materials electronically, you do not need to do anything to continue receiving materials
electronically in the future.
If you hold your shares in a brokerage account, you may also have the opportunity to receive proxy materials
electronically. Please follow the instructions of your broker.
