How can I get electronic access to the proxy materials?
The Notice will provide you with instructions regarding how to:
• View our proxy materials for the meeting on the Internet; and
• Instruct us to send our future proxy materials to you electronically by email.
Choosing to receive your future proxy materials by email will save us the cost of printing and mailing
documents to you and will reduce the impact of our annual shareholders’ meetings on the environment. If you
choose to receive future proxy materials by email, you will receive an email next year with instructions containing
a link to those materials and a link to the proxy voting site. Your election to receive proxy materials by email will
remain in effect until you terminate it.
Who may provide voting instructions for the meeting?
For purposes of U.S. or Canadian beneficial shareholder voting, shareholders holding shares through a
U.S. or Canadian broker, trustee or nominee organization on July 15, 2011 may direct the organization on how
to vote. Logitech has made arrangements with a service company to U.S. and Canadian brokers, trustees and
nominee organizations for that service company to provide a reconciliation of share positions of U.S. and Canadian
“street name” beneficial owners between July 15, 2011 and August 24, 2011, which Logitech determined is the
last practicable date before the meeting for such a reconciliation. These arrangements are intended to result in the
following adjustments: If a U.S. or Canadian “street name” beneficial owner as of July 15, 2011 votes but subsequently
sells their shares before August 24, 2011, their votes will be cancelled. A U.S. or Canadian “street name” beneficial
owner as of July 15, 2011 that has voted and subsequently increases or decreases their shareholdings but remains a
beneficial owner as of August 24, 2011 will have their votes increased or decreased to reflect their shareholdings
as of August 24, 2011.
If you acquire Logitech shares in “street name” after July 15, 2011 through a U.S. or Canadian broker, trustee
or nominee, and wish to vote at the meeting or provide voting instructions by proxy, you must become a registered
shareholder. You may become a registered shareholder by contacting your broker, trustee or nominee, and following
their registration instructions. In order to allow adequate time for registration, for proxy materials to be sent to you,
and for your voting instructions to be returned to us before the meeting, please begin the registration process as far
before September 1, 2011 as possible.
If I am a U.S. or Canadian “street name” beneficial owner, how do I vote?
If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and you wish to vote in person at the meeting,
you must obtain a valid proxy from the organization that holds your shares.
If you do not wish to vote in person, you may vote by proxy. You may vote by proxy over the Internet, or if
you request printed copies of the proxy materials by mail, you can also vote by mail or by telephone by following
the instructions provided in the Notice.
What happens if I do not give specific voting instructions?
If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” in the United States or Canada and do not provide
your broker, trustee or nominee with specific voting instructions, then under the rules of various national and
regional securities exchanges, your broker, trustee or nominee may generally vote on routine matters but cannot
vote on non-routine matters. If the organization that holds your shares does not receive instructions from you on how
to vote your shares on a non-routine matter, your shares will not be voted on such matter and will not be considered
votes cast on the applicable Proposal. We encourage you to provide voting instructions to the organization that
holds your shares by carefully following the instructions provided in the Notice. We believe the following Proposals
will be considered non-routine: Proposal 2 (Advisory vote on executive compensation), Proposal 3 (Advisory vote
on the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation), Proposal 4 (Increase to the number of shares
available for issuance under Employee Share Purchase Plans), Proposal 5 (Authorization to exceed 10% holding of
