Proposal 10
Election of KPMG AG as Logitech’s Auditors and Ratification of the Appointment
of KPMG LLP as Logitech’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for
Fiscal Year 2015
Proposal
The Board of Directors proposes that KPMG AG be elected as auditors of Logitech International S.A. for
a one-year term and that the appointment of KPMG LLP as Logitechs independent registered public accounting
firm for fiscal year 2015 be ratified.
Explanation
KPMG AG, upon recommendation of the Audit Committee of the Board, is proposed for election for one year
as auditors for Logitech International S.A.
The Audit Committee has also appointed KPMG LLP, the U.S. affiliate of KPMG AG, as the Company’s
independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015 for purposes of U.S.
securities law reporting. Logitechs Articles of Incorporation do not require that shareholders ratify the appointment
of KPMG LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. However, Logitech is submitting
the appointment of KPMG LLP to shareholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate governance. If
shareholders do not ratify the appointment, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether to retain KPMG LLP.
Even if the appointment is ratified, the Audit Committee may, in its discretion, change the appointment during the
year if the Committee determines that such a change would be in the best interests of Logitech and its shareholders.
Information on the fees paid by Logitech to PricewaterhouseCoopers S.A. and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP,
the Company’s auditors and independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2014, respectively, as
well as further information regarding KPMG LLP, PricewaterhouseCoopers S.A. and PricewaterhouseCoopers
LLP, is set out below under the heading “Independent Auditors” and “Report of the Audit Committee.
Members of KPMG AG and PricewaterhouseCoopers S.A. will be present at the Annual General Meeting,
will have the opportunity to make a statement, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions you
may ask.
