HOUSEHOLDING OF PROXY MATERIALS
The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy the delivery
requirements for proxy statements and annual reports with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the
same address by delivering a single proxy statement and annual report addressed to those stockholders. This
process, which is commonly referred to as ""householding'', potentially means extra convenience for
stockholders and cost savings for companies.
This year a number of brokers with account holders who are EA stockholders will be ""householding'' our
proxy materials. A single proxy statement will be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless
contrary instructions have been received from the aÅected stockholders. Once you have received notice from
your broker that they will be ""householding'' communications to your address, ""householding'' will continue
until you are notiÑed otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to
participate in ""householding'' and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement and annual report, please
notify your broker, direct your written request to our Corporate Secretary at our principal executive oÇce, or
contact our Corporate Secretary at [phone]. Stockholders who currently receive multiple copies of the
proxy statement and annual report at their address and would like to request ""householding'' of their
communications should contact their broker.
OTHER BUSINESS
The Board does not know of any other matter that will be presented for consideration at the meeting except as
speciÑed in the notice of the meeting. If any other matter does properly come before the Annual Meeting, it is
intended that the proxies will be voted in respect thereof in accordance with the judgment of the persons
voting the proxies.
By Order of the Board of Directors,
S TEPHEN G. B EN π E
Senior Vice President, General Counsel
and Secretary
