Autodesk employees,
Last month we began mailing materials for the upcoming Autodesk annual stockholder meeting to be held on Wednesday, June 10, 2015. If you owned Autodesk shares (not options or unvested restricted stock units) on April 13, 2015, you should have received materials as part of the mailing.  Please note that you likely have received this information via email rather than regular mail.  The delivery method depends on how you previously elected to receive stockholder materials from Autodesk. 
If you hold your shares in an E*TRADE account, you should have received an email from them with a link to the materials.  Those materials instruct you on how to submit your vote. 

Additionally, a copy of the stockholder materials can also be viewed here: http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/769397/000120677415001415/autodesk_def14a.htm.

We encourage you to review this material and cast your vote to approve the proposals.  Regardless of whether you own shares or not, you may review Autodesk’s 2015 Annual Report here: http://investors.autodesk.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=117861&p=irol-reportsAnnual.
If you have any questions, please call the Autodesk Investor Relations at 415-507-6373.
