This excerpt taken from the GIS DEF 14A filed Aug 14, 2007. Delivery of Proxy Materials.
SEC rules allow us to deliver a single copy of an annual report and proxy
statement to any household at which two or more stockholders reside, if we believe the
stockholders are members of the same family. This rule benefits both you and us. We believe
it eliminates irritating duplicate mailings that stockholders living at the same address
receive, and it reduces our printing and mailing costs. This rule applies to any annual
reports, proxy statements, proxy statements combined with a prospectus and information
statements.
57 Your household may have received a single set of proxy materials this year. If you would like to receive another copy of this year’s proxy materials, please write to the Corporate Secretary, General Mills, Inc., P.O. Box 1113, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55440, or call us at 800-245-5703. If you prefer to receive your own copy of proxy and other materials in the future, please write to Broadridge Investor Communications Solutions, Householding Department, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717, or call 800-542-1061. Each stockholder will continue to receive a separate proxy card or voting instruction card. If your household would like to receive single rather than duplicate mailings in the future, please write to Broadridge Investor Communications Solutions, Householding Department, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717, or call 800-542-1061. If a broker or other nominee holds your shares, you may continue to receive some duplicate mailings. Certain brokers will eliminate duplicate account mailings by allowing stockholders to consent to such elimination, or through implied consent if a stockholder does not request continuation of duplicate mailings. Since not all brokers and nominees offer stockholders the opportunity to eliminate duplicate mailings, you may need to contact your broker or nominee directly to discontinue duplicate mailings from your broker to your household.
