Decisions Regarding Re-election to Board of Directors

On May 2, 2007, Mary Alice Taylor and Steve Scheid each informed the Board of Directors of Autodesk, Inc. (“Autodesk”) that they will not seek re-election to the Autodesk Board of Directors. In order to assure a smooth transition, both Ms. Taylor and Mr. Scheid will continue to serve on the Board and Board committees through Autodesk’s 2007 annual meeting of stockholders.

Autodesk is working with an executive search firm to identify new independent director candidates.

 

Item 8.01.

Other Information.

Consistent with previously announced plans, Autodesk is seeking the advice of the Office of Chief Accountant at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “OCA”) and on May 3, 2007, submitted to the OCA certain financial statement information arising out of adjustments related to accounting for stock-based compensation expense as a result of a voluntary review by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors regarding timing of past stock option grants and other related issues. Autodesk intends to file its restated financial statements, as well as its delinquent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended July 31, 2006 and October 31, 2006 and its annual report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended January 31, 2007, as soon as practicable after receiving the advice of the OCA.
