LETTER TO STOCKHOLDERSSTRONG FINANCIAL TRACK RECORDAlthough the first six months of the fiscal year were unsettled as a result of global financial events,maintaining a strong balance sheet and nimble structure has been a cornerstone of our long-termmanagement strategy. Additionally, it has provided us with the freedom to return a significant portion ofcurrent earnings to shareholders, including payment of $192.8 million in common stock dividends and$376.9 million in common stock repurchases.As cost reductions were generally required across the industry, our low levels of debt and substantialliquidity allowed us to take a measured and thoughtful approach to our expense reduction efforts duringthe first half of the fiscal year.The strategies we implemented have proven effective in reducing expenses and improving efficiencies,and thus have positioned us well for the future. Total expenses for the year were down $941.9 millionor 24% compared to last year, largely offsetting the 30% decrease in revenue.LOOKING FORWARDAs a firm, we were tested by a challenging market throughout the year, but the dedication, hard workand integrity of our employees did not waver. We are extremely proud of their efforts and pleased withtheir ability to act quickly under difficult circumstances, while persistently adhering to the values andideals that this company was founded on over 60 years ago.As we enter 2010, we will take with us the lessons learned during the past year. While the new yearpresents a challenging business environment, our top priorities remain our focus on investment excellenceand responding to the needs of our clients.Thank you for your continued support and trust.Sincerely,Gregory E.
