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 (Appropriation
of retained earnings and distribution of capital contribution reserves), Proposal 4 (Reduction of share capital by
cancellation of repurchased shares), Proposal 5 (Amendment and restatement of the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan,
including an increase to the number of shares available for issuance under the Plan), Proposal 6 (Authorization to
exceed 10% holding of own share capital), Proposal 8 (Decrease of the term of office for members of the Board
of Directors) and Proposal 9 (Elections to the Board of Directors). All other Proposals involve matters that we
believe will be considered routine. Any broker non-votes” on any Proposals will not be considered votes cast on
the Proposal.
What is the deadline for delivering my voting instructions?
If you hold your shares through a U.S. or Canadian bank or brokerage or other custodian, you have until
11:59 pm (U.S. Eastern Daylight Time) on Thursday, August 30, 2012 to deliver your voting instructions.
Can I change my vote after I have voted?
You may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before the final vote at the meeting. You may
vote again on a later date on the Internet or by telephone (only your latest Internet or telephone proxy submitted
prior to the meeting will be counted), or by signing and returning a new proxy card with a later date, or by attending
the meeting and voting in person, if you have a “legal proxy” that allows you to attend the meeting and vote.
However, your attendance at the Annual General Meeting will not automatically revoke your proxy unless you vote
again at the meeting or specifically request in writing that your prior proxy be revoked.
How do I obtain a separate set of proxy materials or request a single set for my household in the
United States?
We have adopted a procedure approved by the SEC called householdingfor shareholders in the United
States. Under this procedure, shareholders who have the same address and last name and do not participate in
electronic delivery of proxy materials will receive only one copy of the Notice and our annual report and proxy
statement unless one or more of these shareholders notifies us that they wish to continue receiving individual
copies. This procedure reduces our printing costs and postage fees. Each U.S. shareholder who participates in
householding will continue to be able to access or receive a separate Proxy Card.
If you wish to receive a separate Notice, proxy statement or annual report at this time, please request the
additional copy by contacting our mailing agent, Broadridge, by telephone at +1-800-579-1639 or by e-mail at
sendmaterial@proxyvote.com. If any shareholders in your household wish to receive a separate annual report
and a separate proxy statement in the future, they may call our investor relations group at +1-510-713-4220 or
write to investor relations, 7600 Gateway Boulevard, Newark, California 94560. They may also send an email to
our investor relations group at logitechIR@logitech.com. Other shareholders who have multiple accounts in their
names or who share an address with other stockholders can authorize us to discontinue mailings of multiple annual
reports and proxy statements by calling or writing to investor relations.
