Under our Articles of Incorporation, one or more registered shareholders who together represent shares
representing at least the lesser of (i) one percent of our issued share capital or (ii) an aggregate par value of one
million Swiss francs may demand that an item be placed on the agenda of a meeting of shareholders, including a
nominee for election to the Board of Directors. A request to place an item on the meeting agenda must be in writing,
describe the proposal and be received by our Board of Directors at least 60 days prior to the date of the meeting.

of the company. As a result, beneficial shareholders do not have a right to place an item on the agenda of a meeting,
regardless of the number of shares they hold. For information on how beneficial shareholders may become
registered shareholders, see “Questions and Answers about the Logitech 2012 Annual General Meeting - If I am
