Dear Shareowners:

In response to our recent conversations with shareowners regarding the director qualification by-law that Rockwell's board of directors adopted in June of 2013, Rockwell has decided to include a management proposal in the proxy statement for its 2015 annual meeting giving shareowners the opportunity to vote on whether or not they favor this by-law.  The company will be guided by the results of that shareowner vote.

Thank you for your feedback and for your investment in Rockwell Automation.

Respectfully yours,

 
/s/  Rondi Rohr-Dralle
