Email
from Jen-Hsun Huang to all employees regarding 2007 Equity Incentive
Plan
Hi
everyone,
NVIDIA’s
Annual Meeting of Stockholders will take place on June 21.
Among
other matters, one very important proposal we are asking stockholders to approve
is a new stock option plan called the "2007 Equity Incentive Plan". Stock option
plans require shareholder approval from time to time. Our current stock plan
expires early next year.
Stock
options is an important element of our compensation philosophy. For a growth
company like NVIDIA, stock options delivers the greatest benefit to employees
for the cost to the company. It is one of the best ways for us to make every
employee feel like an owner. Adopting the new stock plan will allow NVIDIA
to
continue granting stock options to attract, retain, and reward world-class
employees.
The
2007
Equity Incentive Plan is critical to the continued growth of our company. I
hope
all of you will join me and vote your shares in support of this
plan.
Employees
who were NVIDIA shareholders on April 23, 2007 will receive a proxy statement
which includes this year’s proposals and voting instructions. If you have
misplaced your proxy statement, contact our proxy solicitor The Altman Group
at
1-800-232-0316 or contact your broker to obtain voting instructions
and/or a replacement proxy card.
If
you
would like to talk about this, feel free to contact me, David Shannon, Marv
Burkett, Scott Sullivan, or Christy Lillquist. Any of us would be delighted
to
help.
I
encourage you to vote your shares.
Jensen
