Teradata Corporation (the “Company”) is filing the attached proxy and voting instruction card (the “Proxy Card”) to correct a typographical error in the form of the Proxy Card that was originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 6, 2014 with the Company’s Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and Proxy Statement (the “Proxy Statement”). In the Proxy Statement, the Proxy Card mistakenly labeled the nominees under Proposal Item 1 (Election of Directors) as “Class III Nominees” when it should have read “Class I Nominees.” The proposal on the election of directors is more fully described beginning on page 6 of the Proxy Statement.

The 2014 proxy materials delivered to the Company’s stockholders will include the attached Proxy Card. Other than this change to the Proxy Card, the Proxy Statement remains unchanged.
