Among the items to be considered and acted upon by the stockholders of A.G. Edwards, Inc. (the "Company") at its Annual Meeting of Stockholders scheduled for Thursday, June 23, 2005, is a proposal to amend the Company's 1988 Incentive Stock Plan (the "1988 Plan"). This proposal is identified as Proposal 2 in the Company's Proxy Statement dated May 16, 2005 that was previously furnished to the Company's stockholders of record on May 2, 2005. The amendment of the 1988 Plan as originally approved by the Company's Board of Directors ("Board") and as described in Proposal 2, provides for an increase in the number of shares of the Company's common stock, par value $1 per share (the "Common Stock") available under the 1988 Plan by 6,000,000 shares (the "1988 Plan Amendment").

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After reviewing votes cast by certain stockholders and in order to facilitate stockholder approval of this proposal, the Board has adopted a resolution providing that the number of shares of Common Stock to be authorized for issuance pursuant to the 1988 Plan Amendment be decreased to 2,800,000 (the "Revised Plan Amendment"). If the Revised Plan Amendment is approved, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock available under the 1988 Plan will be 57,292,188 with 6,771,851 shares of Common Stock available for future benefits.
