To the Stockholders of InVision Technologies, Inc.:
RE: CORRECTION OF PROXY MATERIALS
Dear Stockholder:
There is an error in the proxy materials that we recently sent to you with the
Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on May 31, 2000. The
numbering of the Proposals as stated in the Proxy Statement is reversed from the
numbering as stated on the Proxy Card. FOR VOTING PURPOSES, THE PROXY CARD WILL
CONTROL.
To properly vote your Proxy, carefully read the Proxy Statement to learn about
each Proposal, and mark your vote according to the description of the Proposal
as listed on the Proxy Card.
Proposal to approve the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as amended, to
increase the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance
under such plan by 150,000 shares to 450,000 shares. This Proposal is described
in the Proxy Statement and listed as Proposal No. 2, but it is listed on the
Proxy Card as Proposal No. 3. TO VOTE FOR OR AGAINST, OR TO ABSTAIN ON THE
PROPOSAL CONCERNING THE EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN, MARK YOUR PROXY CARD NEXT
TO THE NUMBER 3.
Proposal to approve the Company's 2000 Equity Incentive Plan. This Proposal is
described in the Proxy Statement and listed as Proposal No. 3, but it is listed
on the Proxy Card as Proposal No. 2. TO VOTE FOR OR AGAINST, OR TO ABSTAIN ON
THE PROPOSAL CONCERNING THE 2000 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN, MARK YOUR PROXY CARD
NEXT TO THE NUMBER 2.
If you have already voted your proxy, and want to change your vote because of
this error, please contract Ms. Dawn Engelhardt, Account Manager, Client
Services, EquiServe, by telephone at (781) 575-3766.
We apologize for any inconvenience this error may have caused.
