Hello [Shareholder],
Cimpress just filed a preliminary proxy statement with proposals related to an evolved long-term compensation program design. I have attached a PDF copy for your convenience or you can find the proxy statement at this link: [hyperlink]
The proxy statement includes a letter from Scott Vassalluzzo, the chairman of the compensation committee of our supervisory board and a managing member of Prescott General Partners, a Cimpress shareholder. Together, the letter and proxy statement describe the compensation program and related performance equity plan in detail. We also attempted to identify the main questions shareholders would have and have answered them in the document. Should you have additional questions please submit them to me at mburns@cimpress.com by Monday, April 25, 2016, and we will provide written answers on our investor relations website on or before the date we mail our definitive proxy statement.
We would also be happy to take questions following our scheduled Q3 FY 2016 earnings announcement next week.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Meredith
