Audit Committee’s Pre-approval Policy and Procedures
Our Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures for the pre-approval of audit and non-audit
services for the purpose of maintaining the independence of our registered public accounting firm. We may not
engage the independent registered public accounting firm to render any audit or non-audit service unless either
the service is approved in advance by the Audit Committee or the engagement to render the service is entered
into pursuant to the Audit Committee’s pre-approval policies and procedures. From time to time, the Audit
Committee may pre-approve services that are expected to be provided to Vistaprint by the independent registered
public accounting firm during the following 12 months. Any such pre-approval is detailed as to the particular
service or type of services to be provided and is also subject to a maximum dollar amount. At regularly scheduled
meetings of the Audit Committee, management or the independent registered public accounting firm report to the
Audit Committee regarding services actually provided to Vistaprint.
During fiscal 2009, no services were provided to Vistaprint by Ernst & Young LLP other than in accordance
with the pre-approval policies and procedures described above.
