This excerpt taken from the XIDE DEF 14A filed Jul 24, 2009. NOTICE
OF ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE HELD SEPTEMBER 16, 2009
To our Stockholders:
The 2009 annual meeting of stockholders of Exide Technologies
will be held at the Atlanta Marriott Alpharetta, 5750 Windward
Parkway, Alpharetta, Georgia 30005, on Wednesday,
September 16, 2009, beginning at 9:00 a.m. local time.
At the meeting, the holders of our outstanding common stock will
act on the following matters:
(1) The election of nine directors;
(2) Approval of the Exide Technologies 2009 Stock Incentive
Plan;
(3) The ratification of the appointment of our independent
auditors for fiscal 2010; and
(4) Any other matters that properly come before the meeting.
We are furnishing proxy materials to stockholders primarily by
the Internet. This process expedites stockholders’ receipt
of the materials, significantly lowers the costs of our annual
meeting, and conserves natural resources. On August 7,
2009, we will mail our stockholders a notice containing
instructions on how to access our proxy statement and annual
report and vote online. The notice also will include
instructions on how you can receive a paper copy of the proxy
materials.
All holders of record of shares of our common stock (NASDAQ:
XIDE) at the close of business on July 20, 2009 are
entitled to vote at the meeting and any postponements or
adjournments of the meeting. You may vote your shares via the
Internet or by calling a toll-free number. If you received a
paper copy of the proxy card or voting instruction form by mail,
you may sign, date, and mail your properly executed proxy card
or voting instruction form. We include instructions about each
voting option in the proxy statement. If you have voted by
telephone, Internet or mail and later decide to attend and vote
at the meeting, you may do so.
The enclosed proxy statement describes the proposals set forth
above in more detail. We urge you to read the proxy statement
carefully before you decide how to vote.
You are cordially invited to attend the meeting. Please note
that due to space limitations, stockholders may only bring one
guest. Admission to the meeting will be on a first-come,
first-served basis. Registration will begin at 8:00 a.m.,
local time, and seating will begin at 8:30 a.m., local
time. Each stockholder may be asked to present valid,
government-issued picture identification, such as a
driver’s license or passport. Stockholders holding stock in
brokerage accounts (“street name” holders) will need
to bring a copy of a brokerage statement reflecting stock
ownership as of the record date. Cameras (including cellular
phones with photographic capabilities), recording devices and
other electronic devices will not be permitted at the
meeting.
By order of the Board of Directors,
July 24, 2009
