INFORMATION
“Householding” of Proxy
Materials. The SEC has adopted rules that permit
companies and intermediaries such as brokers to satisfy delivery
requirements for proxy statements with respect to two or more
stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single
Notice of Internet Availability or proxy statement addressed to
those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to
as “householding,” potentially provides extra
convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies. Our
company and some brokers household proxy materials, delivering a
single Notice of Internet Availability or proxy statement to
multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary
instructions have been received from the affected stockholders.
Once you have received notice from your broker or our company
that they or our company will be householding materials to your
address, householding will continue until you are notified
otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you
no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer
to receive a separate Notice of Internet Availability or proxy
statement, or if you are receiving multiple copies of the Notice
of Internet Availability or proxy statement and wish to receive
only one, please notify your broker if your shares are held in a
brokerage account or us if you hold registered shares. You can
notify us by sending a written request to Exide Technologies,
13000 Deerfield Parkway, Building 200, Milton, Georgia 30004 or
by calling Investor Relations at
(678) 566-9000.
Proxy Solicitation Costs. We are making this
solicitation and will pay the entire cost of preparing,
assembling, printing, mailing and distributing these proxy
materials and soliciting votes. If you choose to access the
proxy materials
and/or vote
over the Internet, you are responsible for Internet access
charges you may incur. If you choose to vote by telephone, you
are responsible for telephone charges you may incur. Our
officers and regular employees may, but without compensation
other than their regular compensation, solicit proxies by
further mailing or personal conversations, or by telephone,
telex, facsimile or electronic means. We will, upon request,
reimburse brokerage firms and others for their reasonable
expenses in forwarding solicitation material to the beneficial
