Fossil,
Inc. (the “Company”) currently plans to hold its 2008 Annual Meeting of
Stockholders on May 21, 2008 at its offices at 2280 N. Greenville Avenue,
Richardson, Texas. Because the date scheduled for the 2008 Annual Meeting is
more than 30 calendar days before the anniversary of the Company’s prior annual
meeting, the Company desires to inform its stockholders of the revised deadlines
for stockholder proposals and director nominations to be discussed and voted
upon at the 2008 Annual Meeting.
Any
stockholder who intends to present a proposal for action at the 2008 Annual
Meeting and wishes to have such proposal considered for inclusion in the
Company’s proxy materials in reliance on Rule 14a-8 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, must submit such proposal in writing and it
must be received by the Secretary of the Company at the address specified below
by April 1, 2008, which the Company considers to be a reasonable time before it
begins to print and send its proxy materials. Such proposal must also comply
with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to Rule 14a-8
stockholder proposals and may be omitted if not in compliance with applicable
requirements.
For
stockholder proposals that are not intended for inclusion in the Company’s proxy
materials and for all director nominations by stockholders, the Company’s bylaws
establish an advance notice procedure in order to present such matters at the
2008 Annual Meeting. Under these procedures, written notice of a stockholder
proposal to amend the charter must have been received by the Secretary of the
Company no later than February 21, 2008. Written notice of a stockholder
proposal to amend the bylaws, remove a director or nominate a director must be
delivered to or mailed and received by the Secretary of the Company at the
address specified on or after May 18, 2008 and may be
received at the Annual Meeting itself. In accordance with Rule
14a-4(c)(1), written notice of other stockholder proposals must be delivered to
or mailed and received by the Secretary of the Company at the address specified
by April 1, 2008, which the Company considers to be a reasonable time before it
sends its proxy materials. The written notice must also contain
specified information and conform to certain requirements, as set forth in the
Company’s bylaws. If the chairman of the 2008 Annual Meeting determines that a
stockholder proposal or director nomination was not made in accordance with the
Company’s bylaws, then such proposal or nomination will not be presented for a
vote of stockholders at the 2008 Annual Meeting.
As
described above, stockholder proposals and director nominations must be written
and delivered to or mailed and received at the Company’s principal executive
offices at the following address: Fossil, Inc., 2280 N. Greenville
Avenue, Richardson, Texas 75082, Attention: Secretary.
