General Meeting of Shareholders that appears on the first two pages 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 two
pages of this proxy statement, you must have held ordinary shares of Cimpress at the close of business on
October 20, 2015, which is the record date for the annual meeting. Shareholders of record at the close of business
on October 20, 2015 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 31,402,943.
How many votes do I have?
Each ordinary share of Cimpress 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 - 11.
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.

voting instructions, then you must follow the directions you receive from your bank or brokerage firm. If you are a
holder of record and your shares are not held in street name, then you can revoke your proxy and change your vote
