To Participants in the Goodrich Corporation
Employee Stock Purchase Plan:
Due to an administrative error, you may have recently received two proxy cards for the Goodrich shares in your Fidelity Investments account that were acquired under the Goodrich Corporation Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP).
The proxy card that was mailed to you by The Bank of New York, bearing set number 3006 and a control number within the range of 550205488 to 550236608, is incorrect and should be discarded. These numbers are located above the signature line on the proxy card.
The proxy card that was mailed to you by National Financial Services (Fidelity’s brokerage firm) reflects the correct number of ESPP shares you are entitled to vote. We ask that you promptly vote these shares via the Internet or telephone or by completing and returning the proxy card. If you have shares in another Fidelity account, these shares will be reflected in one card from National Financial Services.
If you have already voted the incorrect proxy card, you do not need to take any action to invalidate it as that vote will not be counted by our system.
We apologize for any inconvenience this error may have caused.
If you have further questions regarding this matter, you may contact us at (866) 557- 8700 or (800) 600-8764.
Sincerely,
The Bank Of New York
