This excerpt taken from the EYE DEF 14A filed Apr 25, 2008. (Proposal 2) The Audit and Finance Committee, composed of independent members of the Board of Directors, is responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the work of our independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit and Finance Committee has selected PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year 2008. In selecting PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2008, the Audit and Finance Committee considered whether PricewaterhouseCoopers LLPs provision of services other than audit services is compatible with maintaining independence as our independent registered public accounting firm. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP audited our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 and our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. Representatives of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP are expected to be present at the annual meeting, will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions. Although ratification by stockholders is not a prerequisite to the ability of the Audit and Finance Committee to select PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Companys independent registered public accounting firm, we believe such ratification to be desirable. If the stockholders do not ratify the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the selection of independent auditor will be reconsidered by the Audit and Finance Committee; however, the Audit and Finance Committee may select PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, notwithstanding the failure of the stockholders to ratify its selection. The Audit and Finance Committee believes ratification is advisable and in the best interests of the stockholders. If the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is ratified, the Audit and Finance Committee will continue to conduct an ongoing review of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLPs scope of engagement, pricing and work quality, among other factors, and will retain the right to replace PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP at any time. The following proposal will be presented at the Annual Meeting: Action by the Audit and Finance Committee appointing PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Advanced Medical Optics, Inc. independent registered public accounting firm to conduct the annual audit of the consolidated financial statements of Advanced Medical Optics, Inc. and its subsidiaries for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008 and an audit of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008 is hereby ratified, confirmed and approved.
