Vote Your Ryder Shares |
Recently, those of you who own shares of Ryder stock received a proxy statement and voting card for
our 2007 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, which will be held on Friday, May 4, 2007. Accompanying
these materials is a copy of Ryder’s 2006 Annual Report, in which we highlight the profitable
growth, innovation, and solid execution that Ryder continues to deliver to its investors and
customers through the efforts of our employees.
There are two agenda items for this year’s annual meeting: the election of five directors and the
ratification of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as Ryder’s independent auditor. I want to encourage
each and every Ryder employee-shareholder to vote his or her shares. Not only is every vote
important, it also serves to demonstrate your continued support and confidence in our Company and
its leadership.
Please review these materials carefully and take the time to vote your shares.
We appreciate your support and look forward to sharing many successes with you on the road ahead.
