This excerpt taken from the WDC DEF 14A filed Sep 23, 2008. Submitting
Your Proxy
Most stockholders hold their shares through a bank, broker,
trustee or other nominee rather than directly in their own name.
However, if you hold shares directly in your name with our
transfer agent, American Stock Transfer &
Trust Company, you are considered the stockholder of record
with respect to those shares and we are sending these proxy
materials directly to you. As a stockholder of record, you have
the right to grant your voting proxy directly to the named proxy
holder or to vote in person at the Annual Meeting.
If your shares are held in a bank or brokerage account or by a
trustee or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial
owner of these shares held in “street name,” and your
bank, broker, trustee or nominee is forwarding these proxy
materials to you. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to
direct your bank, broker, trustee or nominee on how to vote and
are also entitled to attend the Annual Meeting; however, you may
not vote these shares in person at the Annual Meeting unless you
obtain from the bank, broker, trustee or nominee that holds your
shares a “legal proxy” giving you the right to vote
the shares in person at the Annual Meeting.
If you participate in the Western Digital Stock Fund through our
Western Digital Corporation 401(k) Plan, your proxy will serve
as a voting instruction for T. Rowe Price Trust Company,
the plan’s trustee. If T. Rowe Price does
not receive voting instructions for shares in your plan account,
your shares will not be voted unless you attend the Annual
Meeting and vote in person.
If you hold shares as a stockholder of record, your proxy must
be submitted by telephone or the Internet as described below by
11:59 p.m. Eastern time on November 5, 2008 in
order for your shares to be voted at the meeting. However, if
you received a copy of the proxy materials by mail, you may
instead mark, sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card,
which must be received before the polls close at the Annual
Meeting, in order for your shares to be voted at the meeting. If
you hold shares in the Western Digital Corporation 401(k) Plan,
your voting instructions must be received by
11:59 p.m. Eastern time on November 5, 2008 for
the trustee to vote your shares. Finally, if you hold shares
beneficially in street name with a bank, broker, trustee or
nominee, please follow the voting instructions provided by your
bank, broker, trustee or nominee.
If you submit a proxy by Internet, telephone or by mail, the
persons named as proxies will vote the shares represented by
your proxy in accordance with your instructions. If you validly
submit a proxy but do not complete the voting instructions on
the proxy, the persons named as proxies will vote the shares
represented by your proxy FOR election of each of the ten
director nominees named in Proposal 1, FOR approval of the
amendment to the company’s 2005 Employee Stock Purchase
Plan as described in Proposal 2 and FOR ratification of the
appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public
accounting firm for the fiscal year ending July 3, 2009 as
described in Proposal 3.
