Subject: Upcoming Teradata Proxy Vote Includes ESPP Plan Changes and Other Important Matters
Dear Teradata employees,
Every year, Teradata stockholders have the opportunity to participate in the governance of our company by submitting proxies to vote at our annual stockholders’ meeting.
This year, Teradata’s annual meeting will be held on April 20, 2012. We encourage you to vote your shares in Teradata at the annual meeting. At this year’s meeting, stockholders will be asked to approve, among other things, an amendment to Teradata’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan that increases the employee discount for purchasing Teradata shares through the plan from 5% to 15%. Teradata’s Board of Directors is also asking for your support of its recommended proposal to require all directors to be elected on an annual basis, which the Board believes will provide greater director accountability to stockholders.
Additional information regarding the annual meeting and the items to be voted on at the meeting can be found in the 2012 proxy statement filed on March 1, 2012 which is available at http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/816761/000119312512092505/d298097ddef14a.htm.
