COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Why am I receiving this proxy statement and proxy card?
This proxy statement describes proposals on which you, as a stockholder, are being asked to vote. It also gives
you information on these proposals, as well as other information so that you can make an informed decision.
You are invited to attend the Annual Meeting to vote on the proposals, but you do not need to attend in person
in order to vote. You may, instead, follow the instructions below to vote by mail using the enclosed proxy
card, or to vote by telephone or over the Internet. By doing so, you are giving a proxy appointing John S.
Riccitiello (the Company’s Chief Executive Officer) and Warren C. Jenson (the Company’s Chief Financial
and Administrative Officer) to vote your shares at the meeting as you have instructed. If a proposal comes up
for vote at the meeting that is not on the proxy card, or if you do not indicate an instruction, Mr. Riccitiello
and Mr. Jenson will vote your shares according to their best judgment. Even if you currently plan to attend the
meeting, it is a good idea to complete and return your proxy card, or vote by telephone or on the Internet,
before the meeting date just in case your plans change.
Who can vote at the Annual Meeting?
Stockholders who owned common stock on June 1, 2007 may attend and vote at the Annual Meeting. Each
share of common stock is entitled to one vote. There were 311,621,350 shares of common stock outstanding
