At the annual meeting, our shareholders will consider and act upon the nine proposals listed in the Notice of Annual
General Meeting of Shareholders that appears on the first page of this proxy statement. Our Management Board and
Supervisory Board are not aware of any other business to be transacted at the annual meeting.
Who can vote?
To be able to vote on the matters listed in the Notice of Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on the first page
of this proxy statement, you must have held ordinary shares of Vistaprint at the close of business on October 15, 2014,
which is the record date for the annual meeting. Shareholders of record at the close of business on October 15, 2014
are entitled to vote on each proposal at the meeting. The number of outstanding ordinary shares entitled to vote on
each proposal at the meeting is 32,460,456.
How many votes do I have?
Each ordinary share of Vistaprint that you owned on the record date entitles you to one vote on each matter that is
voted on at the annual meeting.
Is my vote important?
Your vote is important regardless of how many ordinary shares you own. Please take a moment to read the instructions
below, vote your shares, and submit your proxy as soon as possible to ensure that your shares are represented and
voted at the annual meeting.
How do I vote?
If you are a holder of record and your shares are not held in “street name” by a bank or brokerage firm, you may
vote by completing and signing the proxy card that accompanies this proxy statement and promptly mailing it in the
enclosed postage-prepaid envelope. For your vote to be counted at the meeting, our transfer agent, Computershare
Trust Company, Inc., must receive your proxy no later than 4:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the last business day
before the meeting.
If your shares are held in street name by a bank or brokerage firm, then you will need to follow the directions your
bank or brokerage firm provides to you in order to vote your shares. Many banks and brokerage firms offer the option
of voting by mail, over the Internet, or by telephone, which will be explained in the voting instruction form you receive
from your bank or brokerage firm.
The shares you own will be voted according to the instructions you return to Computershare Trust Company or your
bank or brokerage firm. If you are a holder of record and sign and return the proxy card, but do not give any instructions
on a particular matter to be voted on as described in this proxy statement, then the shares you own will be voted in
accordance with the recommendations of our Management Board and Supervisory Board. The Management Board
and Supervisory Board recommend that you vote FOR Proposals 1 - 9.
If you are a record holder and attend the annual meeting in person, then you may also vote in person. If you hold
your shares in street name, then you must follow the instructions below under “How do I attend the meeting and vote
in person?” if you wish to attend the meeting or vote in person.
Can I change my vote after I have mailed my proxy card?
Yes. If you are a holder of record and your shares are not held in street name, you can revoke your proxy and change
your vote by doing any one of the following things:
• signing another proxy card with a later date and delivering the new proxy card to our Chief Legal Officer at the
