EXPLANATORY NOTE ABOUT OUR CHANGE OF DOMICILE
On August 31, 2009, we changed our domicile from Bermuda to the Netherlands. Before that date,
Vistaprint Limited, the publicly traded parent entity of the Vistaprint group of companies, was a limited company
incorporated and domiciled in Bermuda. On August 31, 2009, we closed a share exchange transaction, effected
by way of a scheme of arrangement under Bermuda law, pursuant to which all common shares of Vistaprint
Limited issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing were exchanged for the same number of
ordinary shares of Vistaprint N.V., a Dutch limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in Venlo, the
Netherlands. As a result of the closing of the share exchange transaction, Vistaprint Limited became a wholly
owned subsidiary of Vistaprint N.V., and Vistaprint N.V. became the publicly traded parent entity of the
Vistaprint group of companies.
Throughout this proxy statement, when we refer to Vistaprint during periods on or before August 31, 2009,
including our fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, we are referring to Vistaprint Limited, the Bermuda entity, and the
Board of Directors of Vistaprint Limited. When we refer to Vistaprint during periods after August 31, 2009,
including the current period, we are referring to Vistaprint N.V., the Dutch entity, and the Management Board
