PROPOSAL 1—ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
Our Board of Directors is divided into three classes, with one class being elected each year and members of
each class holding office for a three-year term. Our Board of Directors currently consists of six members, two of
whom are Class I directors (with terms expiring at the 2009 annual general meeting), two of whom are Class II
directors (with terms expiring at the annual general meeting), and two of whom are Class III directors (with
terms expiring at the 2008 annual general meeting).
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors has recommended to the
Board of Directors, and the Board of Directors has nominated, Louis Page and Richard T. Riley for election as
Class II directors at the annual meeting. Messrs. Page and Riley currently serve as Class II directors. Mr. Page
has been a director since September 2000 and Mr. Riley has been a director since February 2005.
The persons named in the enclosed proxy card will vote to elect Messrs. Page and Riley as Class II
directors, unless you withhold authority to vote for the election of either or both nominees by marking the proxy
card (whether executed by you or submitted through the Internet or by telephone) to that effect. Each of the
nominees has indicated his willingness to serve if elected. However, if either or both of the nominees should be
unable or unwilling to serve, the proxies may be voted for a substitute nominee designated by our Board of
Directors or our Board of Directors may reduce the number of directors.
The following paragraphs provide information as of the date of this proxy statement about each member of
our Board of Directors, including the nominees for Class II directors. The information presented includes
information each director has given us about his age, all positions he holds, his principal occupation and business
experience for the past five years, and the names of other publicly-held companies of which he serves as a
director. Information about the number of common shares beneficially owned by each director appears under the
heading “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.”
There are no family relationships among any of the directors and executive officers of VistaPrint. No
arrangements or understandings exist between any director or any person nominated for election as a director and
any other person pursuant to which such person is to be selected as a director or nominee for election as a
director.
