This excerpt taken from the WDC DEF 14A filed Sep 23, 2008. ANNUAL
MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
November 6, 2008
Our Board of Directors is soliciting your proxy for the 2008
Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held at 8:00 a.m.,
local time, on November 6, 2008 at The Westin South Coast
Plaza located at 686 Anton Boulevard, Costa Mesa,
California 92626, and at any and all adjournments or
postponements of the Annual Meeting, for the purposes set forth
in the “Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders.”
Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy
Materials for the Annual Meeting to be Held November 6,
2008: This Proxy Statement and our 2008 Annual Report for the
fiscal year ended June 27, 2008 are available on the
Internet at www.proxyvote.com. These materials are also
available on our corporate website at
www.westerndigital.com/investor.
This year, we are pleased to be using the new Securities and
Exchange Commission rule that allows companies to furnish their
proxy materials over the Internet. As a result, we are mailing
to many of our stockholders a “Notice of Internet
Availability of Proxy Materials,” or Notice, instead of a
paper copy of this Proxy Statement and our Annual Report for the
fiscal year ended June 27, 2008. The Notice contains
instructions on how stockholders can access those documents over
the Internet and vote their shares. The Notice also contains
instructions on how each of those stockholders can receive a
paper copy of our proxy materials, including this Proxy
Statement, our 2008 Annual Report and a proxy card or voting
instruction card. All stockholders who do not receive a Notice
will receive a paper copy of the proxy materials by mail. We
believe this new process will expedite stockholders’
receipt of proxy materials, lower the costs of our Annual
Meeting and conserve natural resources.
We are first mailing the Notice to our stockholders on or about
September 26, 2008. For stockholders who have affirmatively
requested paper copies of proxy materials, we intend to first
mail paper copies of this Proxy Statement, the accompanying
proxy card and our 2008 Annual Report on or about
September 26, 2008.
