MAPINFO CORPORATION
ONE GLOBAL VIEW
TROY, NEW YORK 12180
ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
HAS BEEN ADJOURNED ON PROPOSAL #3 ONLY
NEW MEETING DATE: MARCH 20, 1997
Dear Stockholder,
We have previously sent you material relating to the Annual Meeting of
Stockholders of MAPINFO CORPORATION scheduled to be held on February 13, 1997.
The meeting had to be adjourned until MARCH 20, 1997 in order to allow
sufficient time to obtain the required votes on the proposal to Amend the
Company's 1993 Director Stock Option Plan. The Director Stock Option Plan was
approved in 1993 with 20,000 shares reserved. Options to purchases 15,836 shares
have been granted under the Plan to date, leaving 4,164 shares available for
future grants to non-employee directors. This proposal will authorize 30,000
additional shares for issuance under this Plan and will increase the annual
option grant from 3,000 to 5,000 shares to each non-employee director.
Your vote is urgently needed to avoid the continued expense of additional
solicitations on this proposal. Please sign, date and mail the enclosed proxy
card today using the enclosed postage paid envelope provided.
We appreciate your cooperation in this matter.
By Order of the Board of Directors,
John F. Haller,
Secretary
PLEASE ACT PROMPTLY!
