Dear Stockholders,
You are cordially invited to attend the Annual Meeting of Stockholders on Tuesday, April 24, 2007 at 10 a.m., in the Grand Ballroom of the Knoxville Convention Center, Knoxville, Tennessee.
Dr. Charles M. Vest is not a nominee for election, and his term on the Board will end in April. We are very grateful to him for his many valuable contributions and we will miss his participation.
At this year’s Annual Meeting, you will be asked to approve, among other items, amendments to IBM’s Certificate of Incorporation that will eliminate statutory supermajority voting requirements for certain extraordinary actions. Your affirmative vote on these matters is important, and we appreciate your continued support.
Stockholders of record can vote their shares by using the Internet or the telephone. Instructions for using these convenient services are set forth on the enclosed proxy card. Of course, you also may vote your shares by marking your votes on the enclosed proxy card, signing and dating it, and mailing it in the enclosed envelope. If you will need special assistance at the meeting because of a disability, please contact the Office of the Secretary, Armonk, N.Y. 10504.
Very truly yours,
Samuel J. Palmisano
Chairman of the Board
