PROPOSALS OF SHAREHOLDERS

Proposals of shareholders to be considered for inclusion in the Proxy Statement and proxy card for the 2010 Annual Meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 must be submitted in writing to the Secretary of the Company, Amazon.com, Inc., 1200 12th Avenue South, Suite 1200, Seattle, WA 98144, and must be received by 11:59 p.m. Pacific time on Friday, December 18, 2009. The submission of a shareholder proposal does not guarantee that it will be included in the Company’s Proxy Statement.

In addition, the Company’s Bylaws include advance notice provisions that require shareholders desiring to bring nominations for directors or other business before an annual shareholders meeting to do so in accordance with the terms of the advance notice provisions. The Bylaws’ advance notice provisions do not apply if the shareholder only seeks to include such matters in the Proxy Statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8.

The Bylaws’ advance notice provisions require that, among other things, shareholders give timely written notice to the Secretary of the Company regarding such nominations or other business and provide the information and satisfy the other requirements set forth in the Bylaws. To be timely, a shareholder who intends to present nominations or a proposal at the 2010 Annual Meeting of Shareholders other than pursuant to Rule 14a-8 must provide the information set forth in the Bylaws to the Secretary no earlier than Saturday, February 27, 2010 and no later than Monday, March 29, 2010. However, if the Company significantly changes the timing of its 2010 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (i.e., holds the meeting more than 30 days before, or more than 60 days after, the anniversary of the 2009 Annual Meeting date), then the information must be received no earlier than the 90th day prior to the 2010 Annual Meeting date, and not later than (i) the 60th day prior to the 2010 Annual Meeting date or (ii) the tenth day after public disclosure of the 2010 Annual Meeting date, whichever is later. If a shareholder fails to meet these deadlines and fails to satisfy the requirements of Rule 14a-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company may exercise discretionary voting authority under proxies it solicits to vote on any such proposal as it determines appropriate.

The Company reserves the right to reject, rule out of order or take other appropriate action with respect to any proposal that does not comply with these and other applicable requirements.
