You may submit proposals, including director nominations, for
consideration at future shareholder meetings.
Shareholder Proposals. For a
shareholder proposal to be considered for inclusion in our proxy
statement for the annual meeting next year, our Corporate
Secretary must receive the written proposal at our principal
executive offices no later than March 11, 2008. Such
proposals must also comply with SEC regulations under
Rule 14a-8
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 regarding the inclusion
of shareholder proposals in company-sponsored proxy materials.
Proposals should be addressed to:
Exide
Technologies
13000 Deerfield Parkway Building 200 Alpharetta, Georgia 30004 Attn: Corporate Secretary Fax: (678) 566-9229
For a shareholder proposal that is not intended to be included
in our proxy statement under
Rule 14a-8
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the shareholder must
(1) deliver a proxy statement and form of proxy to holders
of a sufficient number of shares of our common stock to approve
the proposal, (2) provide the information required by our
Bylaws and (3) give timely notice to our Corporate
Secretary in accordance with our Bylaws, which, in general,
require that the notice be received by our Corporate Secretary:
However, if the 2008 annual meeting of shareholders is moved
more than 30 days before or more than 70 days after
August 22, 2008, then notice must be delivered by the
shareholder not earlier than the close of business on the one
hundred twentieth day prior to such annual meeting and not later
than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth day
prior to such annual meeting or the tenth day following the day
on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is
first made by our company.
Nomination of Director
Candidates. You may propose director
candidates for consideration by the Board of Directors’
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Any such
recommendation should include the nominee’s name and
qualification for Board of Directors membership and should be
directed our Corporate Secretary at the address of our
company’s principal executive offices set forth above.
In addition, our Bylaws permit shareholders to nominate
directors for election at an annual meeting of shareholders. To
nominate a director, the shareholder must provide the
information required by our Bylaws. In addition, the shareholder
must give timely notice to our Corporate Secretary in accordance
with our Bylaws, which, in general, require that the notice be
received by our Corporate Secretary within the time period
described above for shareholder proposals that are not intended
to be included in our proxy statement.
Copy of Bylaw
Provisions. You may contact our Corporate
Secretary at our principal executive offices for a copy of the
relevant provisions of our Bylaws regarding the requirements for
making shareholder proposals and nominating director candidates.
The Board of Directors does not provide a process for
stockholders to send other communications to the Board because
it believes that the process available under applicable federal
securities laws for stockholders to submit proposals for
consideration at the annual meeting is adequate.
