At this very important meeting, you are being asked to vote on several key proposals, including an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation that, if approved, would increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock from 5,400,000,000 to 10,000,000,000. Knowing your shares are most likely held through a custodian bank and that the normal distribution of these materials could be delayed, management thought you would appreciate receiving your personal copy of the materials at the same time they are being sent to holders of record. Corporate Investor Communications, Inc. is the proxy solicitor for Cisco and is available to answer any questions you may have. You may contact Bill Fiske directly at (201) 896-5691. On behalf of Cisco Systems, Inc., thank you in advance for taking prompt action with your proxy vote. Sincerely, William P. Fiske Vice President -----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----
