2008 Shareholder Proxy Information
This year EMC is pleased to be able to furnish the Company’s proxy materials to shareholders via the Internet as an environmentally-friendly alternative to the traditional delivery of printed materials. As a result, many of EMC’s shareholders of record will receive a Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials in the mail instead of paper copies of the proxy materials.
EMC believes this new process uses Internet technology that many shareholders prefer, assures more prompt delivery of the proxy materials, reduces the costs of printing and distributing the proxy materials, and conserves natural resources.
As a result of our delivery of proxy materials over the Internet, we plan to reduce the number of printed copies of our proxy materials by approximately 90 percent from last year. We are further reducing our carbon footprint by printing paper copies of the proxy statement on Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)-certified paper sourced from responsibly-managed forests and verified recycled sources.
Shareholders who received the Notice Regarding Availability of Proxy Materials in the mail may still request paper copies of the proxy and voting materials free of charge by following the instructions provided in the Notice.
Whether or not you plan to attend the annual meeting, please vote as soon as possible. We encourage you to vote by Internet. It is convenient for you and saves EMC significant postage and processing costs.
